Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into ...
Type 1 diabetes is widely understood as an autoimmune disease, with the immune system attacking the insulin-producing beta ...
Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...
LOS ANGELES — Scientists at City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S., and a leading research center for diabetes and other ...
Regenerative medicine holds the extraordinary promise that future patients in need of new cells, tissues or organs will no longer have to rely on donors. Organ shortages and cell type mismatches will ...
Pancreatic beta cells are cells that produce insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels. Diabetes develops when beta cells can no longer produce or secrete enough insulin to ...
