The truth became unavoidable: the traditional school setting was never going to be able to meet our daughter's needs.

Diabetes occurs when the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed or become dysfunctional. Scientists are keen to find methods for regenerating these cells to treat diabetes. Now, ...

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 ...

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine ...

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 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 ...

The pancreas is a vital but often overlooked organ that plays a key role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It produces ...
