Researchers discover a protein that connects GLP-1 drugs to long-term, broad genomic responses that can promote pancreatic ...

A recent study identified that a special group of pancreatic beta cells are crucial for triggering the blood sugar response. We know that beta cells of the pancreas play an important role in ...

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system starts to destroy insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Progressive loss of these cells destabilizes the body's glucose levels and drives the course of ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

Beta cells (marked in green) in the pancreas are organized in structures termed islets. In most adults, it was found that a subset become senescent and display the marker p16, shown here in red. The ...
