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 ...

Without proper management, insulin resistance could develop into type 2 diabetes and increase your risk of stroke, cancer, and weight gain.

Researchers demonstrated that pancreatic β cells from type 2 diabetes donors can partially regain glucose responsiveness when ...

For years, scientists have focused their attention on the pancreas’ insulin-producing beta cells and left small clusters of cells in the same region in the background. But a new paper uncovers that ...

Microexons, tiny fragments of genes that are just 3-27 nucleotides long, are known to play a 'tiny but mighty' role in neuronal cells. Through RNA splicing, microexons sculpt the surfaces of proteins ...

An 8-hour time-restricted eating intervention did not improve insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion or beta-cell function in a small group of adults with overweight or obesity, according to data from ...
