Dr. Perrier: "We are getting closer to the goal of developing a standard treatment for diabetes that could one day make ...

Powering medical implants can be tricky, but tapping into the body’s own fuel source could keep them going long-term. A new design for a tiny fuel cell converts glucose into electricity to power ...

Researchers have successfully 3D printed insulin-producing human pancreas cells that could revolutionize treatment for Type 1 ...

Cells import the sugar glucose for the process of glycolysis, ... a structure in the developing embryo that marks the beginning of gastrulation.

It's because cancer cells are perfectly willing to switch to another fuel source – uridine (Figure 1). Figure 1. (L) Glucose, the primary fuel of the body. (R) The chemical structure of uridine ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

ß-Cell glucose metabolism is therefore practically indistinguishable at the thresholds for GSIR for all these cases even though threshold glucose levels have a wide range between 1.5 and 7.0 mmol/l.

One of the hallmarks of cancer cell development is its dependence on sugar, especially glucose, to grow and divide. Scientists have long been studying how to restrict or block this process that ...

Glucose is life’s main energy source. But a Stanford Medicine study reveals a surprising role as a master manipulator of tissue maturation, hinting at its importance in diabetes and cancer.
