New research (the Ver-A-T1D trial) presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) (Vienna, 15-19 September) shows that slow-release (SR) verapamil ...

Pancreatic beta cells are cells that produce insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels. Diabetes develops when beta cells can no longer produce or secrete enough insulin to ...

People with type 2 diabetes on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet may have a better chance of reversing their diabetes than those on a low-fat diet, according to a small study published in the Journal ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 4 (UPI) --Argentine scientists have identified a mechanism that allows pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin, to become resistant to damage. The finding opens the door to new ...

As people age, most maintain normal blood sugar even as insulin resistance tends to rise. New research suggests that pancreatic beta cells help meet this demand through gradual epigenetic changes in ...

Researchers have discovered a novel approach to protecting insulin-producing beta cells from the damaging effects of glucolipotoxicity - a harmful condition linked to the progression of type 2 ...

Humans have around 30 trillion cells in our adult bodies. Amazingly, each of these cells came from a handful of about 100 stem cells in the earliest days of development. The ability of these embryonic ...
