Research has shown that dopamine (DA) plays a key role in how the body regulates the production of insulin. Typically, insulin is secreted by beta-cells in the pancreas in response to glucose—a ...

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells ...

Diabetes is a lifelong, chronic health condition caused by abnormalities in the body’s production and use of the hormone insulin. Research has shown that the feel-good hormone, dopamine (DA), plays a ...

Researchers from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have published a study in the journal Nature Communications that reveals how cells carry out the controlled release of mucins and ...

A team of researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard University, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School has designed a convection-enhanced macroencapsulation device (ceMED) ...

Insulin glargine (Lantus ®, sanofi-aventis) claims to have a 24-hour duration of action. Is there any advantage to using it twice daily? If so, what patient population might benefit from twice-daily ...

Advanced DNA sequencing technologies and a new model of stem cell research have enabled an international team to discover a ...
