Sanofi could be months away from wider US approval for Tzield, its first-in-class drug for delaying the progression of type 1 ...

Researchers have combined a drug that’s normally used to treat cancer with a naturally derived anti-inflammatory to stimulate pancreatic stem cells to grow into insulin-producing cells. The study’s ...

Our glycaemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...

Sanofi’s Tzield has been accepted for priority review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand its use to children aged one year and older with stage 2 type 1 diabetes. The submission is ...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic and widely prevalent condition characterized by a progressive loss of glycemic control driven by both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. The disease has long ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have uncovered a novel route to stimulate the growth of healthy insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells in a preclinical model of diabetes. The findings hold ...

A new study suggests that one of the most common diabetes treatments may speed type 2 diabetes progression by causing insulin-producing cells to lose their functional identity. Sulphonylureas have bee ...

In a recent review published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine, researchers examined current evidence on the reasons and implications of pancreatic beta-cell failure and its potential reversibility ...

Pancreatic islets from adult mice. On the left, islet composed of different types of endocrine cells. Right: pancreatic islet composed solely of beta cells. Our glycaemic balance is based on the ...
