Amylin – Insulin’s Less-Discussed Partner
Discussions of diabetes typically focus on insulin, which is made by the beta cells in the pancreas. Notably, the beta cells also make another hormone called amylin. Indeed, these cells secrete amylin into the bloodstream whenever they secrete insulin. The hormone has several effects. It acts on alpha cells in the pancreas to inhibit their...

Can beta cells recover or regrow? New research says maybe
Diabetes develops when the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels under control. This occurs due to a reduction or loss of the cells that make insulin in the pancreas. These cells are known as beta cells. Finding a safe and effective way to regrow or regenerate these cells could...

Why do insulin-producing beta cells stop working in type 2 diabetes?
Many people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are resistant to the effects of insulin. Their insulin-producing beta cells therefore need to work hard to produce enough insulin to overcome this resistance and maintain normal blood sugar or glucose levels. The work to produce insulin involves producing, folding, and cutting precursors of the insulin molecule. If...
