Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which the body mistakenly attacks itself as the immune system destroys the pancreas's insulin-producing cells. Why the immune system turns against these cells remains ...

Pancreatic beta cells (β-cells) reside in a cluster of cells in the pancreas known as the islets of Langerhans. Pancreatic β cells are the only cells that produce insulin - a hormone that decreases ...

Researchers at Umeå University have succeeded in imaging an entire human organ, a pancreas, in microscopic resolution. By staining different cell-types with antibodies and then using optical 3D ...

Detailed characterization of human pancreatic islets is key to elucidate the pathophysiology of all forms of diabetes mellitus, including its most common form known as type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . On April 15, an FDA advisory committee concluded that the islet cell therapy donislecel demonstrated a favorable ...

Oral presentations were held at the congresses of the ADA1, EASD2 and IPITA-IXA-CTRMS3 Evidence support that AdoShell® Islets is a scalable biocompatible immunoprotective biomaterial for islet ...

A partially purified secretory granule fraction, isolated from rat islets of Langerhans by differential centrifugation, was used for investigating the stability of the beta granules during incubation ...

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 ...

Stem cell-derived pancreatic islets are being studied as a rich transplantable source for insulin production, a therapeutic for type 1 diabetes that overcomes the need to obtain islet cells from ...
