It’s easy to blame sugar, but experts say the true cause of insulin resistance may start elsewhere.

Our glycaemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...

Just as insulin therapy revolutionized life for people with type I diabetes (TID) a century ago, a new implant may one day do the same by tackling the disease’s biggest challenge—keeping transplanted ...

Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) researchers have developed an engineered stem cell treatment capable of reversing ...

Using an innovative hydrogel that promotes the survival of insulin-producing cells grafted into the body, scientists have ...

Recent clinical trials have shown promising results of transplanting these cells into individuals with Type 1 diabetes: ...

In people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the immune system shuts down the body's ability to make the hormone insulin, responsible for regulating blood sugar and providing cells with glucose to produce ...

Today millions of diabetic patients across the world do not have access to insulin. Why and how can governments reverse this ...

In a proof of concept that may reshape the treatment landscape for insulin-dependent diabetes, scientists have demonstrated that human stomach cells can be reprogrammed to secrete insulin—potentially ...

Pancreatic islets from adult mice. On the left, islet composed of different types of endocrine cells. Right: pancreatic islet composed solely of beta cells. Our glycaemic balance is based on the ...
