pancreas

Lipids and insulin play important roles in blood sugar regulation, and altered levels of either could kick start metabolic dysfunction.

Scientists grow gastric organs in vitro that can restore insulin production when transplanted into mice.

Researchers craft hormone-producing pancreas cells from human embryonic stem cells, paving the way for a cell therapy to treat diabetes.

In diabetic mice, the cells of the pancreas don’t die, but rather revert to an earlier state incapable of producing the insulin the body needs.

Pulling frequent all-nighters, experiencing jet lag, and working night shifts can lead to diabetes in more than one way.
