Researchers have taken a big step forward in the quest to regenerate the pancreatic beta-cells damaged by type 1 diabetes. Using FDA-approved drugs usually given to patients with rare cancers, they ...

Researchers have identified two experimental medications that may be able to promote myelin repair in people with MS, a study ...

In a clinical trial led by University of Toronto researchers, an allogeneic stem cell–derived islet therapy (zimislecel) restored insulin production and ended severe hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

In recent years, we have come to appreciate that loss or dysfunction of insulin-producing islet beta cells underlies virtually all major forms of diabetes mellitus. In type 1 diabetes, beta cells ...

Beta cells (marked in green) in the pancreas are organized in structures termed islets. In most adults, it was found that a subset become senescent and display the marker p16, shown here in red. The ...

Patients with sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia treated with exagamglogene autotemcel reported substantial and ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which Staphylococcus aureus—one of the most common causes of skin and soft ...
