In early-stage type 2 diabetes, the number of beta cells was not much lower than normal. This means that the disease does not ...

Understanding how the human pancreas develops is crucial to allow scientists to make insulin producing–beta cells in the quest to cure Type 1 diabetes. Now, scientists have made a unique and ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have established a novel transplantation site for islets of Langerhans that enables long ...

Research introduces new DNA methylation-based method for accurately assessing cell composition in the human pancreas, addressing a critical gap in diabetes research. By overcoming limitations of ...

Researchers have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early development. The researchers were able to recreate a complete structure that ...

Insulin is a hormone essential for regulating blood sugar. The factory that produces insulin is the beta cells of the ...

Researchers from the Organoid group (previously Clevers group) at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early ...
