Improving Vascularization of Transplanted Islet Cells
One option that researchers have explored for treating type 1 diabetes is cell transplantation. By introducing new pancreatic islet cells, they aim to better control glucose levels and insulin production. […]

Expanding Type 1 Diabetes Research Through Marmoset Models
It is not uncommon for researchers to use animal models for initial research before transitioning to human clinical trials. Many animals’ systems are biologically similar in nature to humans and […]

Exploring C-Peptide Persistence in Type 1 Diabetes
In diagnosing diabetes, be it type 1 or type 2, one of the key factors doctors look for is C-peptide levels. Traditionally, scientists have believed that low C-peptide levels indicated […]
