Insulin Producing Cells Developed in Mice for Diabetics

Singapore researchers recently developed what they have deemed a successful, tumor-free number of “pure insulin-producing cells from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs),” according to November news reports from Science Daily. The cells have been produced to provide diabetic patients with pure insulin producing cells in order for blood glucose levels of diabetics to be regulated [...]

Abiram Ganeshanathan, London In this research article, I will be discussing the controversial and thought provoking topic of embryonic stem cell research. However, I will be concentrating on the ultimate concept of it providing a long term and viable option to cure Diabetes mellitus type [...]

Cause Of Diabetes – Having Too Much Or Too Little Of The Insulin Beta Cells

To understand the main cause of diabetes, it is important for us to understand how the pancreas responds in producing insulin beta cells needed for the body’s glucose absorption. Under normal circumstances, the glucose (sugar) will enter the bloodstream which will act as fuel for the body. The pancreas may be slow or may fail [...]
