Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

People with type 2 diabetes on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet may have a better chance of reversing their diabetes than those on a low-fat diet, according to a small study published in the Journal ...

New research (the Ver-A-T1D trial) presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) (Vienna, 15-19 September) shows that slow-release (SR) verapamil ...

A hallmark of type 2 diabetes is the progressive loss of beta cell mass: cells in the pancreas that produce and release insulin. The endoplasmic reticulum stress response, a cellular pathway that ...

Pancreatic beta cells are cells that produce insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels. Diabetes develops when beta cells can no longer produce or secrete enough insulin to ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into ...

In 2021, a research team discovered the insulin-inhibitory receptor 'Inceptor' and its role as a suppressor of the insulin signaling pathway. Now, the researchers have unlocked another, even more ...
