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 ...

It can acutely raise blood glucose levels by suppressing insulin secretion, but in the long term, it may confer metabolic benefits.

Replacing a hydrogen atom by an iodine atom in insulin, the hormone retains its efficacy but is available more rapidly to the organism. Researchers at the University of Basel were able to predict this ...

A wearable device pairs glucose-responsive insulin with algorithmic pump control, creating dual safety loops that reduced ...

Insulin is a glucose-lowering hormone that targets the peripheral tissues, especially the skeletal muscle and fatty tissues. Insulin also circulates throughout the brain, wherein it can impact the ...

Life with diabetes usually includes many injections of the blood sugar–controlling hormone insulin. Recent research investigating a once-weekly shot finds it might help lessen the burden a bit for ...
