A Vertex Pharmaceuticals cell therapy for type 1 diabetes is enabling patients to produce insulin, eliminating the need for additional insulin therapy in the vast majority of participants in a key ...

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 ...

A patient with type 1 diabetes has been functionally cured of the disease, requiring no insulin doses for over a year. The treatment involves growing and transplanting new insulin-producing cells from ...

In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 4 (UPI) --Argentine scientists have identified a mechanism that allows pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin, to become resistant to damage. The finding opens the door to new ...

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, ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

A new treatment for type 1 diabetes is moving closer to reality. In late 2024, a 46-year-old Swedish man received 17 injections of a unique pancreatic cell cocktail. The cells, donated from a healthy ...

A new therapy for type 1 diabetes could nix the need for insulin injections. Just a single infusion of lab-grown pancreatic cells let patients’ bodies make all the insulin they needed, scientists ...

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 ...
