After undergoing a total pancreatectomy, where the pancreas is surgically removed in its entirety, many patients face ...

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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Computed tomography volumetry measures correlated well with diabetes mellitus status in patients with pancreatic disease, according to a study published in Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery.

In the closing segment, Dr Shaheen reflects on unmet needs and future directions for patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. She acknowledges that while treatment options have ...
