Researchers in Singapore are working to improve the affordability and accessibility of recombinant insulin by optimizing downstream production processes. Zhang Wei, PhD, from the Agency for Science, ...

The discovery of insulin has saved the lives of millions of people with diabetes worldwide, but little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis. The discovery of insulin has saved the lives ...

A recent study has demonstrated that genetically modified cows can potentially increase insulin production, presenting a new avenue for addressing insulin scarcity and reducing treatment costs for ...

When you’ve got a diabetic in your life, there are few moments in any day that are free from thoughts about insulin. Insulin is literally the first coherent thought I have every morning, when I check ...

Some people produce more insulin in response to proteins and fats than carbs, new research has found. Suggesting that insulin production is more individualized than first believed, the findings pave ...

How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers have investigated this question. The hormone insulin plays a central ...

Could cow milk be the new cure for diabetes? Researchers have genetically modified a brown cow in Brazil to produce human insulin in its milk, which marks a breakthrough in diabetes treatment research ...

Norwegian researchers have previously demonstrated an association between diabetes and virus infection. New research shows that, among children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D), treatment ...

Diabetes isn't curable because of the cells that produce insulin, the hormone key to helping the body break down blood sugar. These are the beta cells in the pancreas that either can't make enough ...
