Researchers have found evidence of inherent changes to the pancreas in people with type 1 diabetes. Published recently in Scientific Reports, these new findings help explain how low blood glucose ...

Chestnut Hill, Mass. (4/13/2022) – Gut microbes can regulate the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas and hormone production of the gastrointestinal tract, findings that may help develop ...

Cystic fibrosis is well-known for attacking the lungs through thick blockages of mucus, but those with the condition often also develop diabetes because of the way cystic fibrosis can affect the ...

Obesity increases the body's need for insulin, forcing cells in the pancreas known as beta cells to ramp up insulin production to maintain blood sugar levels. Scientists have thought that this ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

Researchers show that obesity alters pancreatic cells to produce cholecystokinin, which drives cancer growth, revealing new links between hormone signaling, cellular stress, and tumor risk.

Beta cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. However, pancreatic islets also have alpha cells that produce the hormone glucagon, which acts to raise glucose blood ...

With the right steps, it’s possible to put type 2 diabetes into remission and restore healthy blood glucose levels. But how do you get there?

Researchers have identified a specific hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells as a direct driver of obesity-linked ...

Scientists show that endocrine stem cells in the pancreas disappear after birth, and detail the genetic identity of the different types of pancreatic hormone-producing cells. The pancreas is a key ...
