Pancreas development in pigs resembles humans much more closely than does the established mouse model. An international team ...

Scientists say they’ve come up with a way for the body to produce its own store of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is ...

For years, the pancreas has been being taught in biology class as an easy system: insulin lowers blood sugar, and glucagon raises it. But that’s much too simple, new research says. Scientists at Duke ...

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 ...

The pancreas is a vital but often overlooked organ that plays a key role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It produces essential enzymes that break down food and hormones like insulin and ...

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 ...

Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and ...

Hans Clevers, PhD, has been working on organoids from the beginning. He was group leader for twenty years at the Hubrecht Institute and has been head of pharma research and early development (pRED) of ...

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.

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 ...
