After spending years developing its endoscopic device treatment for patients with Type 2 diabetes, Fractyl Health is now ...

After years of controversy, stem cells are on the cusp of cures for conditions like epilepsy and type 1 diabetes.

In this type of diabetes, the immune system specifically destroys insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreatic islets — the body's own immune system attacks its own cells (a form of autoimmune ...

Islets include beta cells which make insulin in the pancreas. Importantly, the patient's pancreatic beta cells survived and were functioning four weeks after the implantation. Moreover ...

This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...
