Study finds how loss of cells in pancreas in elderly cause age-related dia
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers have looked into the disappearance of pancreatic islet cells in people who have never suffered pancreatitis. They determined that the loss of insulin-producing beta cells was the primary cause of islet cell loss in the elderly after finding notable trends in the types of cells lo

Loss of cells in pancreas in elderly might cause age-related diabetes: Res
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Scientists discovered major trends in the types of cells lost owing to islet cell loss in different age groups and sexes, concluding that ICL in the elderly was mostly caused by insulin-producing beta cell loss.

Researchers target stem cells in human stomach to treat diabetes
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A potential strategy for treating diabetes uses stem cells from the human stomach to create cells that release insulin in response to rising blood sugar levels.

Electrical energy can be produced from blood sugar: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
The researchers have combined the fuel cell with artificial beta cells developed by their group several years ago. These produced insulin at the touch of a button and effectively lower blood glucose levels much like their natural role models in the pancreas.

Study suggest two subtypes of insulin-producing cells
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells, or ss cells, have been discovered by a team of researchers led by scientists from the Van Andel Institute and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics. Each of these ss cell subtypes possesses critical traits that may be use

Study: Losing productive type of pancreatic cell contribute to development
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
In the pancreas, various types of beta cells produce insulin, which aids in blood sugar regulation. According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, losing a particularly productive type of beta cell may contribute to the development of diabetes.

Study discovers insulin deficiency associated with Type 1 diabetes leads t
Updated : 3 years ago IST
person with Type 1 diabetes has a smaller pancreas than someone without the disease. This is unexpected because insulin-producing beta cells make up a very minor portion of the pancreas and their loss in Type 1 diabetes would not be anticipated to result in a reduction in pancreas size.

Researchers suggest immunological medication to treat early type 1 diabete
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
An approved medication for the treatment of psoriasis is now starting a significant clinical investigation. Patients who have just received a type 1 diabetes diagnosis will test the medication. According to the theory, the medication might maintain the patient's remaining capacity to produce

Researchers explain the cause of autoimmunity in patients with type 1 diab
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 25 (ANI): Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas makes little or no insulin. The details of the events that occur during autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells have been studied extensively yet the mystery of what causes a

Study discovers therapeutic target for patients with type 2 diabetes
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 4 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a therapeutic target for the preservation and regeneration of beta cells ( cells), the cells in the pancreas that produce and distribute insulin. This finding could be a game-changer for patients with type 2 diabetes. The discovery

Concentrating on beta cells instead of immune system can help to prevent t
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 2 (ANI): According to new research, the causes of type 1 diabetes focus on auto-immune response, where the immune system shatters the islets of Langerhans which help to control the amount of glucose in the body.
