On the other hand, insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve. Instead, it absorbs liquid as it travels through your digestive tract (1). Beta glucan is a specific form of soluble dietary fiber. It’s found in ...

A recent study identified that a special group of pancreatic beta cells are crucial for triggering the blood sugar response. We know that beta cells of the pancreas play an important role in ...

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 ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

Other studies suggest that healthy foods like whole grains and blueberries, along with vitamins like vitamin D, can also help people with diabetes control their blood pressure. So, there’s more than ...

While nearly all beta cells die off in diabetes, a few—though too few to be effective insulin suppliers—do survive. To see whether their mouse findings could be applicable in humans, Engin's lab, with ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...
