A small device implanted just beneath the skin, roughly the size of a large postage stamp and weighing about two grams, kept ...

Scientists have cured type 1 diabetes in mice, without long-term immune suppression. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system ...

In a major breakthrough for diabetes treatment, scientists have found a new way to regenerate insulin-producing cells. This approach could change how type 1 diabetes is treated, moving beyond just ...

Researchers in the United States have successfully cured type 1 diabetes in mice using a “chimeric” immune system, allowing ...

A genetically modified cow has produced milk containing human insulin, according to a new study. The proof-of-concept achievement could be scaled up to, eventually, produce enough insulin to ensure ...

Most diabetes patients must carefully monitor their blood sugar levels and inject insulin multiple times per day, to help ...

An unassuming brown bovine from the south of Brazil has made history as the first transgenic cow capable of producing human insulin in her milk. The advancement, led by researchers from the University ...

Your brain makes insulin—the same insulin produced by your pancreas. The same insulin that is not produced in people with type 1 diabetes and the same insulin that does not work properly in people ...

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 ...

How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers have investigated this question. The hormone insulin plays a central ...

The image shows in magenta the insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and a second group of nerve cells (DH44 positive cells, green), which together with the IPCs regulate central aspects of the energy ...
