Insulin regulates blood sugar, and it is made by cells in the pancreas called beta cells. Type 1 diabetes arises when something goes wrong with those cells. For example, in some cases, the immune ...

Islet of langerhans, light micrograph. This structure (centre), found in the pancreas, secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon, which control blood sugar levels. Magnification: x200 when printed at ...

Pancreas development in pigs resembles humans much more closely than does the established mouse model. An international team headed by Helmholtz Munich and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University have created a tiny electronic implant that helps lab-grown pancreatic tissue develop and work properly, raising hopes for new cell ...

Researchers have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early development. The researchers were able to recreate a complete structure that ...

Tampa General Hospital performed the world’s first in-human pancreas transplant with a new technology that preserved the organ. The October operation, led by transplant surgeon Matthew Witt, MD, ...

Hello Health Rounds Readers! A new study suggests it might be possible to keep some pancreas cells working longer in children with type 1 diabetes, potentially delaying complications of the disease.

An organoid containing all three pancreatic cell lineages has been developed for the first time, providing a clearer picture of how the pancreas develops. Organoids can help us better understand ...

For years, the pancreas has been being taught in biology class as an easy system: insulin lowers blood sugar, and glucagon raises it. But that’s much too simple, new research says. Scientists at Duke ...
