Researchers have used sophisticated genetic engineering to remove or "knock out" the Lkb1 gene from beta cells of laboratory mice. The result was an increase in both the size and number of beta cells, ...

A newly developed approach can precisely produce four-stranded beta-sheets through metal-peptide coordination, report researchers. Their innovative methodology overcomes long-standing challenges in ...

Beta cells are cells in the pancreas. They are found in groups called islets. Beta cells create insulin, a hormone that regulates your blood glucose levels. When your blood glucose levels increase, ...
