Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have established a novel transplantation site for islets of Langerhans that enables long-term intravital microscopy of islet physiology in awake mice with ...

A patient with type 1 diabetes received genetically modified allogeneic islets and no immunosuppression. Results obtained ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a thermoresponsive antioxidant biomaterial that they suggest may in the future be used to help improve the survival and function of islet cells in ...

Pancreatic islets are mini-organs that make and release insulin and several other peptide hormones to control our glucose levels. Although various studies have previously looked at how pancreatic ...

Researchers at Umeå University have succeeded in imaging an entire human organ, a pancreas, in microscopic resolution. By staining different cell-types with antibodies and then using optical 3D ...

Severe chronic pancreatitis is treated by removing the pancreas. Without a pancreas, patients also lose insulin-producing cells called islets. To preserve insulin responses, surgeons transplant islets ...

Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell–derived islet-cell therapy. Data on the safety and efficacy of zimislecel in persons with type 1 diabetes are needed. We conducted a phase 1–2 study of zimislecel ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied pancreatic islet cell loss in people with no previous pancreatic problems. They identified key trends in the types of cells ...

Diabetes develops when the body fails to manage its blood glucose levels. One form of diabetes causes the body to not produce insulin at all. Called Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, this autoimmune disease ...

The autoimmunity associated with type 1 diabetes often begins in the first years of life, and the diagnosis of type 2 ...
