Schematic Overview of the Development of a Bespoke Islet-specific Microenvironment Using Bioprinting Technology to Enhance ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells and reversed diabetes in a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell ...

In this type of diabetes, the immune system specifically destroys insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreatic islets — the body's own immune system attacks its own cells (a form of autoimmune ...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by dysfunction in the pancreas, the organ responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Within the pancreas, islet cells secrete insulin to lower blood sugar.
