Small, 3D-printed devices, designed to be implanted directly under the skin, could allow people with type 1 diabetes to ...

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

A global research team, led by Wake Forest University’s Dr. Quentin Perrier, has successfully 3D-printed functioning human ...

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.

The diabetes conference featured a debate about over-the-counter glucose monitors and updates on upcoming devices, including ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 1, 2025, titled "Oxytocin modulates insulin and GLP-1 secretion in pancreatic islets." In this study, scientists ...

The insulin discovery we forgot.Published: June 16, 2025 8:46am EDT ...

Scientists have known for over 100 years about insulin producing cells in the pancreas. These spherical islands of cells, called islets, contain insulin producing beta cells.

The pancreas plays a role in diabetes because it produces insulin and helps regulate blood sugar levels. We look into the links between diabetes and the pancreas.

Learn more about the medications available to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In some cases, the pancreas eventually stops producing insulin, so insulin therapy becomes necessary.

In 2010, Herrera and his researchers discovered that if beta cells die prematurely, the pancreatic cells responsible for producing other hormones such as glucagon, which counteracts insulin’s ...
