Researchers in Singapore are working to improve the affordability and accessibility of recombinant insulin by optimizing downstream production processes. Zhang Wei, PhD, from the Agency for Science, ...
Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...
A recent study has demonstrated that genetically modified cows can potentially increase insulin production, presenting a new avenue for addressing insulin scarcity and reducing treatment costs for ...
The discovery of insulin has saved the lives of millions of people with diabetes worldwide, but little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis. The discovery of insulin has saved the lives ...

Some people produce more insulin in response to proteins and fats than carbs, new research has found. Suggesting that insulin production is more individualized than first believed, the findings pave ...
The discovery of insulin has saved the lives of millions of people with diabetes worldwide, but little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis. Researchers at the University of Michigan ...
Diabetes isn't curable because of the cells that produce insulin, the hormone key to helping the body break down blood sugar. These are the beta cells in the pancreas that either can't make enough ...
The image shows in magenta the insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and a second group of nerve cells (DH44 positive cells, green), which together with the IPCs regulate central aspects of the energy ...
Insulin production has, for the last 50 or so years, come with some risks to the patient. Even so, the medication is lifesaving for the estimated 537 million adults living with diabetes worldwide, ...
A team of researchers from the University of Oxford has shed light on the mystery of exactly how high blood glucose leads to type 2 diabetes. The discovery reveals glucose metabolites can damage ...
