A research team has successfully developed an innovative platform for diabetes treatment using bioink derived from pancreatic ...

Schematic Overview of the Development of a Bespoke Islet-specific Microenvironment Using Bioprinting Technology to Enhance ...

The pancreatic islet is the only human tissue that produces insulin in response to rising blood glucose levels. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks and slowly destroys these islets ...

Islets, found in the pancreas, are clusters of insulin-secreting and other cells enmeshed in tiny, specialized blood vessels. The insulin cells are killed by an autoimmune process in type 1 ...

The prevalence of diabetes has alarmingly increased in both developed and developing countries in recent years. The ...

Fatty pancreas disease, characterized by intra-pancreatic fat deposition, is more prevalent than diabetes, pancreatitis, and ...

POSTECH researchers develop 3D printed platform to enhance diabetes treatment POSTECH scientists create advanced 3D printing ...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by dysfunction in the pancreas, the organ responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Within the pancreas, islet cells secrete insulin to lower blood sugar.

Type 1 diabetes – which affects around nine million people globally – occurs when the body’s immune system destroys insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. Islet transplantation has long been ...
