In type 1 diabetes, beta cells succumb to autoimmunity, leaving individuals with significantly reduced beta-cell mass and a lifelong dependence on insulin replacement therapy.

Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising journey of one Mayo Clinic research team. After identifying a sugar molecule ...

Scientists have long suspected that stress hormones help fuel the spread of cancer. Now, new research has uncovered how a ...

Instead, the focus shifted to encouraging existing beta cells to replicate, though that happens at low rates. Now, newer technologies like single-cell RNA sequencing have brought fresh insights.

Human stem cells developed into dopaminergic neurons have been transplanted into mice, resulting in reduced anxiety and ...

But beta cells in these organoids are typically immature, making them suboptimal models for the in-vivo environment, says Sander.
