Pancreatic beta cells are cells that produce insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels. Diabetes develops when beta cells can no longer produce or secrete enough insulin to ...
Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...
Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
People with type 2 diabetes on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet may have a better chance of reversing their diabetes than those on a low-fat diet, according to a small study published in the Journal ...
People with type 2 diabetes on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet may have a better chance of reversing their diabetes than those on a low-fat diet, according to a small study published in the Journal ...
Researchers have discovered a novel approach to protecting insulin-producing beta cells from the damaging effects of glucolipotoxicity - a harmful condition linked to the progression of type 2 ...
In a clinical trial led by University of Toronto researchers, an allogeneic stem cell–derived islet therapy (zimislecel) restored insulin production and ended severe hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 ...
Melton pioneered the differentiation of insulin-producing beta cells from human stem cells, giving Alvarez-Dominguez unparalleled training under one of the field’s founders. He also knew something ...
