Carbohydrate intake has long been known to affect blood sugar levels, resulting in insulin release by pancreatic cells more than other nutrients. Novel laboratory research now suggests that ...

Researchers demonstrated that pancreatic β cells from type 2 diabetes donors can partially regain glucose responsiveness when ...

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 ...

An 8-hour time-restricted eating intervention did not improve insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion or beta-cell function in a small group of adults with overweight or obesity, according to data from ...

Microexons, tiny fragments of genes that are just 3-27 nucleotides long, are known to play a 'tiny but mighty' role in neuronal cells. Through RNA splicing, microexons sculpt the surfaces of proteins ...
