Researchers from the University of Florida’s Diabetes Institute have found an important clue for why the body’s immune system destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, which leads to Type 1 …

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by …

Understanding how the cells that control blood sugar work is crucial to preventing and treating diabetes. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now developed a technique that makes it possible to …

Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and estimated to affect 9.5 million people worldwide. Low …

Edits create cells that don’t trigger an immune response, allowing implant recipient to forego immune-suppressing drugs. By Elie Dolgin Elie Dolgin is a science journalist in Somerville, Massachusetts. ]]> In …

Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat Type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could …

A new treatment for type 1 diabetes is moving closer to reality. In late 2024, a 46-year-old Swedish man received 17 injections of a unique pancreatic cell cocktail. The cells, …

In type 1 diabetes, insulin-producing beta cells (orange, lower left) in the pancreas (upper left) send out signals called exosomes (yellow dots). Immune sentinels called dendritic cells (large whitish cell, …
