Type 1 diabetes is widely understood as an autoimmune disease, with the immune system attacking the insulin-producing beta ...

Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which the body mistakenly attacks itself as the immune system destroys the pancreas's insulin-producing cells. Why the immune system turns against these cells remains ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Igniting hope for a new-and-improved stem cell therapy for type 1 diabetes, scientists have reported a method for creating insulin-producing cells that reverse diabetes in mice and may overcome some ...

Researchers at Umeå University have conducted a unique three-dimensional mapping of an entire human pancreas. The study shows that insulin-producing cells can remain long after the onset of type 1 ...

Islet of langerhans, light micrograph. This structure (centre), found in the pancreas, secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon, which control blood sugar levels. Magnification: x200 when printed at ...

ORLANDO, Fla — Stem cell–derived beta-cell replacement therapy continues to show benefit in people with type 1 diabetes at a high risk for severe hypoglycemia. Of a total 17 patients who received a ...

The image shows Langerhans islets after chronic intermittent fasting. On the left those of an adult animal, on the right those of a young animal. The beta cells of the pancreatic Langerhans’ islets ...
