Doug Melton, one of the 100 man of the year of Times magazine is a researcher working on generating beta like cells that can replace the innate beta cells. (https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms11463) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4617632/ What do you think of this research...

Dr. Nikolay Ninov, group leader at the DFG research center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), Cluster of Excellence at the TU Dresden, and Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden (PLID), and his group developed a system called "Beta-bow," which allows the history of β-cells to be traced by...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new measurement for the volume and activity of beta cells, the source of the sugar-regulating hormone insulin. In a study published in the August edition of the journal Diabetes, Weibo Cai and colleagues used a PET scanner to...
