Conceptual diagram summarizing the central experiment comparing cell death in amyloid-β treated neuronal cells with and without pancreatic β cell culture supernatant. Pancreas cells may produce a ...

In a new study published in Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Chen-Yu Zhang's group and Antonio Vidal-Puig's group at University of Cambridge report that pancreatic β cells secrete miR-29 family ...

Two new studies show that the Covid-19 coronavirus may infect the β-cells in your pancreas and affect their ability to secrete insulin. (Photo by FRANCK FIFE/AFP via Getty Images) Add this to the ...

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 ...

For example, in the pancreas, you can find these cells in pancreatic islets, which secrete hormones like insulin that regulate our blood sugar. Although pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors develop from ...

Interim results from a multicenter clinical trial demonstrate insulin secretion from engrafted cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the implants, which ...

The pancreas is a large gland located behind the stomach. It secretes insulin, necessary for blood sugar control, directly into the blood stream. It also secretes digestive juices into the small ...

In type 2 diabetes, the body's ability to release insulin is impaired, which leads to high blood glucose levels. Research led ...
