Reversing mitochondrial damage could help cure diabetes Regardless of the cell type, the researchers found that damage to the ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial damage is common in metabolic diseases like Diabetes, affecting insulin production and function in patients. Diabetics’ insulin-producing β-cells have abnormal mitochondria, impairing ...

require lifelong immunosuppression to prevent rejection of the graft and potential recurrence of the autoimmune process that might again destroy pancreatic islet β-cells. Immunosuppressive ...

Pancreas cells may produce a protein that can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with Alzheimer's disease, a peptide known as amyloid-β accumulates and forms tangled plaques.

Activation of both endogenous and exogenous ligands of pattern-recognition receptors can induce islet inflammation and death of pancreatic β cells Amplification of insulitis might depend on a ...

People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) raising a possible link between the cells that ...

There is now emerging evidence that male obesity negatively impacts male reproductive potential not only by reducing sperm quality, but in particular altering the physical and molecular structure of ...

The islet cells from the pancreas of the NOD and non-diabetic mice ... were conducted on both β- and δ-cells of the islets.
