Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have established a novel transplantation site for islets of Langerhans that enables long-term intravital microscopy of islet physiology in awake mice with ...

Severe chronic pancreatitis is treated by removing the pancreas. Without a pancreas, patients also lose insulin-producing cells called islets. To preserve insulin responses, surgeons transplant islets ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new antioxidant biomaterial that someday could provide much-needed relief to people living with chronic pancreatitis. The paper, "Phase-changing ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a thermoresponsive antioxidant biomaterial that they suggest may in the future be used to help improve the survival and function of islet cells in ...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is marked by insulin resistance together with the progressive failure of pancreatic β-cells. Increasing evidence suggests that this failure is shaped not only by β-cells ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied pancreatic islet cell loss in people with no previous pancreatic problems. They identified key trends in the types of cells ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

The autoimmunity associated with type 1 diabetes often begins in the first years of life, and the diagnosis of type 2 ...
