To investigate whether dedifferentiated beta cells can be targeted pharmacologically to restore beta cell function, the researchers used streptozotocin-induced diabetes in mice.

In a new study in mice, Helmholtz Zentrum München in collaboration with Novo Nordisk, demonstrated for the first time that a targeted combinatorial drug treatment is able to restore beta cell ...

Researchers have discovered a way to delay the decay of tissues and cells after death and even restore function to those cells. This is promising for organ transplant survivability.

The ability to restore beta cell function with minimal intervention could be a game changer in the care of type 2 diabetes. For many people with the disease, beta cell function declines to the ...

To investigate whether dedifferentiated beta cells can be targeted pharmacologically to restore beta cell function, the researchers used streptozotocin-induced diabetes in mice.

Researchers make older beta cells act young again Date: October 12, 2011 Source: Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International Summary: Researchers have identified a pathway responsible for ...

Transforming alpha cells into beta cells could be a particularly promising treatment for type 1 diabetes, says Dr. William L. Holland, the senior study author, who is now an assistant professor of ...

A revolutionary new study using only materials derived from humans has revealed that insulin-producing beta cells can change their function in diabetes -- and that this change may be reversible.

By blocking a protein, VDAC1, in the insulin-producing beta cells, it is possible to restore their normal function in case of type 2 diabetes. In preclinical experiments, the researchers behind a ...
