Recent advances in DNA sequencing, combined with new stem cell research approaches, have allowed an international group of scientists to identify a previously unrecognized form of diabetes that ...

A recent study has demonstrated that genetically modified cows can potentially increase insulin production, presenting a new avenue for addressing insulin scarcity and reducing treatment costs for ...

Researchers in Singapore are working to improve the affordability and accessibility of recombinant insulin by optimizing downstream production processes. Zhang Wei, PhD, from the Agency for Science, ...

Diabetes isn't curable because of the cells that produce insulin, the hormone key to helping the body break down blood sugar. These are the beta cells in the pancreas that either can't make enough ...

Australian scientists have demonstrated a new way to restore insulin production in pancreatic cells, using a drug that’s already approved for use in humans. The study could mark a major breakthrough ...

The first few months of life are a very important period in terms of human development, and at this point, many of the most ...

The discovery of insulin has saved the lives of millions of people with diabetes worldwide, but little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis. The discovery of insulin has saved the lives ...

While diabetes can mostly be managed through a carefully-controlled diet and regular insulin shots, a longer term solution and perhaps even a cure could be found by replenishing a patient's own supply ...

Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...

Feb. 27 (UPI) --Diabetics may soon have a new way to improve insulin production, a study says. A plant-based diet can improve insulin secretion and incretin hormones for people with type 2 diabetes, ...

The crucial hormone insulin needs help acquiring the right structure. A protein that assists in the process of insulin folding has just been discovered in a new study. They hope the new research ...

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore scientists have discovered that a type of immune cell known as 'pancreatic islet macrophages' is capable of promoting insulin production during the ...
