When we think of death, we imagine a final, irreversible end. But what if death is not as absolute as it seems? What if some ...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by dysfunction in the pancreas, the organ responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Within the pancreas, islet cells secrete insulin to lower blood sugar.

When Dr. Lawrence C.B. Chan and Dr. Vijay Yechoor of Baylor College of Medicine used a special gene therapy to induce the livers of mice with diabetes to make islet or beta cells, they knew they were ...

A research team has successfully developed an innovative platform for diabetes treatment using bioink derived from pancreatic ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells and reversed diabetes in a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell ...

Islet Transplantation with Blood Vessel Cells Shows Promise to Treat Type 1 Diabetes Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin ...

Moreover, all 12 showed evidence that the islet cells had grafted and were producing insulin in response to glucose levels in the body within three months, and 11 of them had been able to reduce ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells and reversed diabetes in a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell ...

Researchers have developed a method using engineered blood vessel cells (R-VECs) to improve islet transplantation which could offer a safer and more effective treatment for type 1 diabetes. In a study ...

supporting the islets with a rich mesh of new vessels and even taking on the gene activity ‘signature’ of natural islet endothelial cells,” said co-author David Redmond, assistant professor ...

Announced positive preliminary 12-week clinical results, building on already released 4-week results, of ongoing type 1 diabetes study showing that h ...
