Sermorelin, a synthetic analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH 1–29), has long attracted scientific interest due to ...

Hormones control essential processes like growth, metabolism, mood, and reproduction, but when their balance is disrupted, it ...

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have uncovered a possible way to protect key cells in the pancreas that are targeted during the development of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a ...

Organoids—tiny, lab-grown 3D clusters of cells—are a useful tool for studying organ development, disease, and drug responses. These miniature organs-in-a-dish are powerful, but they’re not perfect: ...

Our glycaemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...

Researchers have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early development. The researchers were able to recreate a complete structure that ...

A rare cell in the lining of lungs is fundamental to the organ-wide response necessary to repair damage from toxins like those in wildfire smoke or respiratory viruses, Stanford Medicine researchers ...

Pancreatic islets from adult mice. On the left, islet composed of different types of endocrine cells. Right: pancreatic islet composed solely of beta cells. Our glycaemic balance is based on the ...

Microscopic image of the pancreas organoid. The magenta shows the cell nuclei, and the cyan highlights the acinar cells that secrete digestive enzymes. Researchers from the Organoid group (previously ...
