A recent study reveals that age plays a significant role in the outcomes of intermittent fasting. Researchers from Technical ...

Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

Several studies have shown that insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells of patients with diabetes have abnormal mitochondria and are unable to generate energy. Yet, these studies were unable to explain ...

Just one drop of blood could reveal if you have pancreatic cancer. A new test called PAC-MANN can pick up signs of the disease in people’s blood, even at an early stage, researchers report ...
