Schematic of the lentiviral vector constructed for mammary gland-specific human insulin expression and restriction map analysis. (A) Schematic of the lentiviral vector constructed. (B) The restriction ...
A genetically modified cow has produced milk containing human insulin, according to a new study. The proof-of-concept achievement could be scaled up to, eventually, produce enough insulin to ensure ...
Most of the insulinmedication that people use today is made from bacteria that have been genetically modified to produce insulin that is identical to the kind made in the human pancreas, according to ...
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 ...
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 ...
The hormone insulin plays a central role in the metabolism of many living organisms. When food is plentiful, insulin promotes the absorption and storage of energy. In times of hunger, however, insulin ...
The image shows in magenta the insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and a second group of nerve cells (DH44 positive cells, green), which together with the IPCs regulate central aspects of the energy ...
