Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system destroys insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Yet, not all patients lose insulin function at the same pace. Understanding ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Genetics, researchers carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of triglyceride (TG):high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratios ...

Could cow milk be the new cure for diabetes? Researchers have genetically modified a brown cow in Brazil to produce human insulin in its milk, which marks a breakthrough in diabetes treatment research ...

In a major breakthrough for diabetes treatment, scientists have found a new way to regenerate insulin-producing cells. This approach could change how type 1 diabetes is treated, moving beyond just ...

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 ...

Your brain makes insulin—the same insulin produced by your pancreas. The same insulin that is not produced in people with type 1 diabetes and the same insulin that does not work properly in people ...

Genetic technologies have the potential to help solve the ever-growing challenges of food insecurity and global health. But for this potential to be met, regulations that hinder scientific innovation ...

Researchers identify genetic markers that predict the rate of β-cell failure in type 1 diabetes, facilitating earlier, personalized care strategies Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition ...
