Detailed characterization of human pancreatic islets is key to elucidate the pathophysiology of all forms of diabetes mellitus, including its most common form known as type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, ...

When human islets were commingled with human R-VECs, all of the islets embedded themselves in the newly formed vascular network, and the R-VECs formed tiny vessels that surrounded and penetrated the ...

An international team of scientists just delivered a major breakthrough in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bio ink. This technology might one day ...

An international team of scientists has made an advancement in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional Langerhans islands (human islets) using a novel bioink. In laboratory tests, the ...

ORLANDO, Fla — Stem cell–derived beta-cell replacement therapy continues to show benefit in people with type 1 diabetes at a high risk for severe hypoglycemia. Of a total 17 patients who received a ...

A coin-sized implantable device created by scientists at Houston Methodist Research Institute Department of Nanomedicine could drastically alter the course of treatment for type 1 diabetes (T1D). The ...

Researchers have devised the right conditions to grow vascularized stem cell islets. The image shows vasculature (red) tightly wrapped around insulin-producing cells (green) in the islets (blue).

Patients suffering from type 1 diabetes may soon have access to improved approaches to treat the disease, courtesy of new research out of Sydney's Westmead Institute for Medical Research.
