Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into ...

A recent study identified that a special group of pancreatic beta cells are crucial for triggering the blood sugar response. We know that beta cells of the pancreas play an important role in ...

On the other hand, insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve. Instead, it absorbs liquid as it travels through your digestive tract (1). Beta glucan is a specific form of soluble dietary fiber. It’s found 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 ...

LOS ANGELES — Scientists at City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S., and a leading research center for diabetes and other ...

A joint effort involving research teams from Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and the University of Michigan has linked the activities of a regulatory gene network and functional defects in ...

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 ...

Scientists at City of Hope ®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S., and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening ...

A Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor helped preserve beta-cell function in people with recent-onset type 1 diabetes, the phase II BANDIT trial found. Meeting the study's primary endpoint, daily baricitinib ...

Beta glucan is a type of soluble fiber found naturally in a variety of food sources, such as oats, barley, and rye. It’s associated with numerous health benefits, including lower cholesterol levels ...
