For years, scientists have focused their attention on the pancreas’ insulin-producing beta cells and left small clusters of cells in the same region in the background. But a new paper uncovers that ...

"The delta cells were mostly ignored," said Huising. "They made up only 5% of the islet cells, and no one knew their function." When a person's blood sugar rises, the 500 or so beta cells in each ...

New research shows that delta cells in the pancreatic islet are stimulated in unison with beta cells producing insulin, creating a feedback loop that prevents a sudden drop in blood sugar. In this ...

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 research team has successfully developed an innovative platform for diabetes treatment using bioink derived from pancreatic tissue and 3D bioprinting technology. This study was recently published ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Unsung delta cells—long thought to play only a supporting role—are actually key players in protecting you from dangerous drops in ...
