Scientists show that endocrine stem cells in the pancreas disappear after birth, and detail the genetic identity of the different types of pancreatic hormone-producing cells. The pancreas is a key ...

We investigated the global microRNA expression patterns in normal pancreas, pancreatic endocrine tumors and acinar carcinomas to evaluate their involvement in transformation and malignant progression ...

The pancreas is a key metabolic regulator. When pancreatic beta cells cease producing enough insulin, blood sugar levels rise dangerously—a phenomenon known as hyperglycemia—thus triggering diabetes.

Scientists recently developed an efficient way to transplant pancreatic islets and demonstrated that the method can effectively reverse type 1 diabetes in nonhuman primates. In people with type 1 ...

A cross-section of islets of Langerhans, a cluster of cells within the pancreas that are responsible for the production and release of hormones that regulate glucose levels. Insulin in beta cells is ...

Histological analysis was conducted on pancreas samples from wild-type (WT) rabbits (n=3) and rabbits with CF (n=5). Representative images are shown here. (A) H&E-stained sections of WT pancreas. A1: ...

Surgery in pancreatic cancer (PC): Identifying potential barriers. Background: Clusterin, a ubiquitous multifunctional cytoplasmic and secretory sulfated glycoprotein (sCLU), plays a role in ...

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 ...

In patients with chronic pancreatitis, electrohydraulic lithotripsy performed via peroral pancreatoscopy can remove pancreatic duct stones, except for large or dense stones.

In this concluding segment, Dr Shaheen focuses on how shared decision making and quality of life considerations guide treatment selection in later line pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor care. She ...
