A new imaging approach reveals how dual agonist drugs like tirzepatide act on the pancreas and brain to regulate blood sugar and appetite.

FMP, the University of Oxford, and the University of Birmingham have developed a novel imaging approach to track how popular ...

Researchers have developed fluorescent probes, daLUXendins, to track dual agonist drugs like tirzepatide in live tissues. The ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing is valuable for studying the pancreatic islet cellular repertoire among normal and type 2 diabetes patients, including non-diabetic beta cells, T2D beta or alpha cells ...

Pancreatic beta-cells synthesize, store and release insulin. But, in type 1 diabetes (T1D), the immune system selectively destroys these cells over time, leading to a lifelong dependence on ...

A transplanted pseudoislet made from CD63hi beta cells. [Weill Cornell Medicine] Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report losing a type of beta cell may contribute to the development of ...

Our glycemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is ...

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 ...

Insulin cells don't need to team up Scientists show that insulin-producing beta cells don't need other pancreatic endocrine cells to stabilize blood sugar levels Date: September 4, 2024 Source ...
