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 ...

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

Objective: Somatostatin (SST) is secreted by islet δ-cells and by extraislet neuroendocrine cells. SST receptors have been identified on α- and β-cells, and exogenous SST inhibits insulin and glucagon ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers explored micro-ribonucleic acids (RNAs) associated with diabetes and related characteristics in human ...

Abundant, richly vascularized and functioning islets observed throughout all chambers of Sernova’s Cell Pouch more than 5 years after islet transplantation Histological data confirmation of healthy ...

When cells copy DNA to produce RNA transcripts, some stretches of the genetic material are included—these are known as exons—but the rest is thrown out. The resulting transcript is a fully mature RNA ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new antioxidant biomaterial that someday could provide much-needed relief to people living with chronic pancreatitis. The study will be published ...
