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

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 ...

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

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the ...

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.

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.
