Insulin-producing human pancreas cells can be manufactured with 3D printers, researchers reported at the International Transplant Congress underway in London.

In a small cell therapy trial, 10 out of 12 people with type 1 diabetes no longer needed supplemental insulin, even a year after treatment.

Dr. Perrier: "We are getting closer to the goal of developing a standard treatment for diabetes that could one day make ...

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 ...

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 a potential game-changer for diabetics and ...

The pancreatic islets -- tiny clusters of cells in the pancreas that include the insulin-making beta cells -- bounced a special wavelength of light back.

Destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas causes Type 1 diabetes, while Type 2 is triggered by insulin resistance. The possibility that other cells are able to produce insulin can open up ...

Type 2 diabetes can also mean that your pancreas produces insulin but not enough. Most of the time, type 2 diabetes develops due to a combination of insulin deficiency and ineffective use of insulin.

The pancreas is a gland organ in the abdomen. It forms part of the digestive system. It produces insulin and secretes fluid that helps break down food. Problems with the pancreas can lead to ...

Insulin is an essential hormone that regulates blood sugar levels in the body. It’s produced naturally in the pancreas. If people don’t make enough insulin or the body doesn’t use insulin ...

This is when your pancreas doesn't make any or enough insulin, or your body can't use the insulin it does make very well. The glucose can't get into your cells, so it stays in the blood.
