Because islet amyloidosis in patients with type 2 diabetes is associated with a reduced mass of insulin-producing beta cells, it is most likely an important factor in the development of beta-cell ...

One of the first brain cells shown to make insulin is the neurogliaform cell. These live in a brain area important for ...

Altogether, the new developments suggest a robust supply of stem cell-generated islets that can be made available on demand. The technique homes in on the coveted beta cell, the type of islet that ...

Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 1, 2025, titled "Oxytocin modulates insulin and GLP-1 secretion in pancreatic islets." ...

Through investigation on how exosomes derived from gut microbiota can transport signals to remotely regulate pancreatic islet beta-cell function, the researchers documented that: Inflammasome ...

In islet cell transplantation, beta cells are removed from a donor's pancreas and transferred into a person with type 1 diabetes. Beta cells are one type of cell found in the islets of the ...

Islets are cell clusters in the pancreas that house several different types of hormone-secreting cells, including insulin-producing beta cells. Researchers in the Sander lab at the University of ...

Study: Restoration of PITPNA in Type 2 diabetic human islets reverses pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. Image Credit: Tatiana Shepeleva/Shutterstock.com PITPNA, a type of phosphatidylinositol ...

Clusters of beta islet cells engrafted under a mouse's cornea, showing some vascularization of the implanted cells. Credit: Courtesy of Stephan Speier" />Clusters of beta islet cells engrafted under a ...

Beta cells are cells in the pancreas. They are found in groups called islets. Beta cells create insulin, a hormone that regulates your blood glucose levels. When your blood glucose levels increase ...

islets from donors with type 2 diabetes had fewer insulin-producing beta cells, a delay in their peak insulin time in response to high glucose, and a lower insulin response to glucose overall.
