ATP‐sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are vital metabolic sensors that couple intracellular adenine nucleotide levels to membrane electrical activity, thereby regulating insulin secretion in ...

In a recent review published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine, researchers examined current evidence on the reasons and implications of pancreatic beta-cell failure and its potential reversibility ...

Researchers led by ETH Professor Martin Fussenegger at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) in Basel have produced artificial beta cells using a straightforward engineering ...

Pre-existing insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells, but not their progenitors, have been shown to contribute to new beta cells in the adult pancreas, according to a Chinese study led by scientists ...
