Understanding how the human pancreas develops is crucial to allow scientists to make insulin producing–beta cells in the quest to cure Type 1 diabetes. Now, scientists have made a unique and ...

Researchers have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early development. The researchers were able to recreate a complete structure that ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) impacts nearly two million Americans, and by the time most people learn they have it, most of the ...

In a new large-scale genetic analysis, scientists have found a set of small RNA molecules, called microRNAs, in human pancreatic cells that are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. Researchers ...

An organoid containing all three pancreatic cell lineages has been developed for the first time, providing a clearer picture of how the pancreas develops. Organoids can help us better understand ...

Researchers from the Organoid group (previously Clevers group) at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early ...
