The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

For years, the pancreas has been being taught in biology class as an easy system: insulin lowers blood sugar, and glucagon raises it. But that’s much too simple, new research says. Scientists at Duke ...

Beta cells in the pancreas are responsible for producing the vital hormone insulin. In diabetes, these cells are either destroyed or functionally impaired, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels in ...

A new study from Duke University School of Medicine is challenging long-standing views on blood sugar regulation - and pointing to a surprising new ally in the fight against type 2 diabetes. Published ...

A new study from Duke University School of Medicine is challenging long-standing views on blood sugar regulation—and pointing to a surprising new ally in the fight against type 2 diabetes. Using mass ...

A recent study identified that a special group of pancreatic beta cells are crucial for triggering the blood sugar response. We know that beta cells of the pancreas play an important role in ...

A fuel cell under the skin that converts blood sugar from the body into electrical energy sounds like science fiction. Yet it apparently works perfectly. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce ...
