Philadelphia researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, working with engineers at Harvard, have wired up lab-grown mini pancreases with hair-thin electronics, nudging immature alpha and beta cells ...

University of Chicago researchers developed an mRNA nanoparticle system that triggers cells to produce PD-L1 protein, potentially delaying type 1 diabetes progression in animal models.

An artificial pancreas system that can automatically monitor and regulate blood glucose levels in Type 1 diabetic children as young as 6 was found to be safe and effective, according to a study ...

The pancreas has many functions, and one of its most important roles is the regulation of blood sugar. To reduce blood sugar levels, the pancreas produces insulin. To increase blood sugar, the ...

A new electronic implant system can help lab-grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, potentially providing a ...

SAN ANTONIO – It may not be a total cure for diabetes, but the largest, randomized clinical trial for a “bionic pancreas” in San Antonio resulted in what may be the best effortless control of the ...

An “immune system reset” eliminated autoimmune, or Type 1, diabetes in mice in a study conducted at. Researchers say the strategy could also have potential for treating other autoimmune diseases and ...

An artificial pancreas has been trialed in patients with type 2 diabetes for the first time. The device monitors a person’s blood glucose levels and automatically administers insulin when needed – and ...

Pancreas transplantation should be considered more often for people with diabetes who meet eligibility criteria, a group of transplant surgeons argues in a new mini-review. Fridell and colleagues also ...

Researchers have found that pancreatic triglycerides (TGs) provide a novel biomarker for pancreatic β-cell dysfunction that can be used to identify individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes, ...

A device known as a bionic pancreas, which uses next-generation technology to automatically deliver insulin, was more effective at maintaining blood glucose (sugar) levels within normal range than ...
