A self-assembling helix formed from nateglinide, a complementary diabetes treatment, provides a protective coating that could open the door to an oral insulin medication.
Results for "insulin"
Artificial muscle noninvasively promotes insulin production
A membrane embedded with magnetic microdisks mechanically stimulates pancreatic cells to produce insulin, which could help treat diabetes.
A multi-organ “gym-on-a-chip” finds exercise directly triggers insulin
The device provides a powerful tool for studying and treating diabetes, allowing personalized modelling by using patients’ own cells.
Regulation of Insulin and Glucagon Production in Flies
Current knowledge of the factors that control the regulation and release of insulin and glucagon in Drosophila.
Improving Insulin Inhalers for Diabetes
New technologies for inhaled insulin are aimed at improving formulation through enhanced delivery systems.
Bringing Sugar to the Core: A Core-Shell Solution to Insulin Replacement
Lipid bilayer-coated polymeric nanoparticles can at as a long-acting, glucose-responsive insulin delivery system in type-I diabetes.
Encapsulating Insulin: A Novel Pancreas Mimic
Delivering insulin into the body in supramolecular spheres.
Making Insulin Producing Beta Cells by Cell Reprogramming
A robust and reproducible method for “direct programming” of acinar cells into functional beta cells with a polycistronic viral construct and viral transduction of pancreatic tissue in vivo in mice is described.
Better insulin-cell producing transplants
Researchers develop a nanothin anti-inflammatory polymer material capable of decreasing immune responses involved in insulin-cell transplantation rejection.
Tissue Implantable Insulin Sensors
A team from MIT explores the dynamics and operation of a hypothetical insulin sensor using a model for glucose, insulin and glucagon circulating in the body.
