Researchers have devised the right conditions to grow vascularized stem cell islets. The image shows vasculature (red) tightly wrapped around insulin-producing cells (green) in the islets (blue).

Researchers led by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance, published in ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

Macrophages, marked in yellow, connect hormone-secreting cells (magenta) and blood vessels (grey) in the mouse pituitary gland. Scale is 10 µm. Finnish researchers show in a new study that pituitary ...

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 ...

New research from scientists at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine reveals that certain gut microbial byproducts may hold promise as a novel therapy for obesity-associated ...
