Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

The researchers investigated the impact of intermittent fasting on the beta cells. In the pancreas of mature mice, no negative effects on the beta cells were observed (here stained green).

An innovative organoid model mirrors the pancreas' complexity, generating all three key cell types to explore development and ...

A recent study reveals that age plays a significant role in the outcomes of intermittent fasting. Researchers from Technical ...

The image shows Langerhans islets after chronic intermittent fasting. On the left those of an adult animal, on the right those of a young animal. The beta cells of the pancreatic Langerhans’ islets ...

While intermittent fasting is hugely popular for weight loss and other health conditions, an animal study on Friday claimed ...

Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it pertains to the pancreatic ß-cell is that the characteristic decreases in insulin synthesis and secretion are caused by decreased insulin gene expression.

A revolutionary approach to immune therapy has emerged: engineered immune cells that protect healthy tissue without ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell. These crucial, energy generating organelles even have their own little genomes... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas ...

Researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using a commercially available nitroglycerine patch applied to the skin. One day, researchers want to use switches of this kind to ...

Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Patients who suffer from this disorder are unable to produce enough insulin or use the insulin ...
