  • In type I diabetes, the beta cells, which are the only cells in the body that produce insulin, are destroyed by the immune system resulting in complete lack of the hormone. (newswise.com)
  • Current treatments include the administration of drugs that enhance the production of insulin by pancreatic beta cells, or direct injection of insulin to supplement the naturally produced supply. (newswise.com)
  • Pancreatic beta cells were engineered with a gene that encodes a photoactivatable adenylate cyclase (PAC) enzyme. (newswise.com)
  • we just boost the amount of cAMP transiently in beta cells to get them to make more insulin only when it's needed. (newswise.com)
  • Insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, is made in pancreatic beta cells. (umassmed.edu)
  • When insulin demand in the body exceeds beta cell insulin production capacity, prompted by events such as beta cell loss (type 1 diabetes) or weight gain (type 2 diabetes), beta cells proliferate in an effort to meet insulin demand. (umassmed.edu)
  • Until now, it was unclear how beta cells sense the demand to make more insulin. (umassmed.edu)
  • Although it was previously known that too much ER stress is bad for beta cells, causing them to die, our study found that a modest amount of stress is actually good for them, because it provides pressure to increase beta cell number to produce more insulin and keep blood sugar regulated," Dr. Alonso said. (umassmed.edu)
  • Importantly, the study also found that the key elements of this pathway are active in human beta cells too. (umassmed.edu)
  • According to Alonso, these results explain why beta cells are so sensitive to stress-they need to sense stress in order to determine how many beta cells are needed. (umassmed.edu)
  • Only fully mature insulin-producing beta cells are able to use this stress mechanism to sense that the body needs more insulin than the current allotment of beta cells can provide. (umassmed.edu)
  • For years, Annes' goal has been to develop a medication that would promote the regeneration of insulin-producing beta cells. (stanford.edu)
  • That advance might have given new hope to diabetes patients, but there was a catch: The way to get beta cells to start dividing and replicating is the same way to get lots of other cells to divide and replicate. (stanford.edu)
  • But Annes reasoned that if he could somehow get a regenerative drug to seek out zinc, he could get it to beta cells. (stanford.edu)
  • Annes, Horton and Smith aimed to use a zinc-chelating agent, which will bond to zinc wherever it runs into it, to deliver a drug to zinc-loving cells, but first they needed to see whether the chelating agent itself would accumulate in beta cells. (stanford.edu)
  • After initial lab tests showed it did, they attached a beta-cell regenerating drug to the zinc-chelating agent, and found that the drug would also build up in beta cells in a lab dish. (stanford.edu)
  • The team also showed that its zinc-chelation approach amassed more of the drug in beta cells than other cell types. (stanford.edu)
  • We plan to develop a roadmap of genetic variations, relevant in beta cells, to predict changes in insulin output - important information that may better enable us to prevent and treat diabetes," said team lead Maike Sander, MD, professor and director of the Pediatric Diabetes Research Center at UC San Diego School of Medicine. (ucsd.edu)
  • Beta cells produce the hormone insulin in response to increased sugar levels in the blood, as happens after a meal. (ucsd.edu)
  • In type 1 diabetes, a person's own immune system mistakenly attacks beta cells, so they don't produce insulin. (ucsd.edu)
  • It's a careful balance, though - if beta cells produced too much insulin, there would be too little blood sugar left to keep a person alive. (ucsd.edu)
  • Beta cells (green) produce the hormone insulin. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Perhaps unsurprisingly, their beta cells then function very differently than the cells do in people with normal blood glucose levels. (medicalxpress.com)
  • In a paper recently published in Molecular Metabolism , Weir's lab laid out a wealth of new data about how beta cells behave at slightly raised levels of blood glucose. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Studying beta cells in lab rats whose blood glucose levels were slightly elevated, Weir's lab found changes in gene expression that affect not just how well the cells function but their ability to divide and grow, as well as their vulnerability to autoimmunity and inflammation. (medicalxpress.com)
  • So virtually all the beta cells don't respond to that acute stimulus. (medicalxpress.com)
  • In earlier research, Weir and collaborators studied this phenomenon in rats who were surgically altered to generate slightly high blood glucose levels, and found that the rats' beta cells secreted less insulin. (medicalxpress.com)
  • In their latest experiments, the Joslin team employed the same approach along with powerful "RNA sequencing" methods that revealed patterns of gene expression in the beta cells, either four weeks or ten weeks after surgery. (medicalxpress.com)
  • As expected, genes involved in insulin secretion were highly active in the beta cells. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Some of these changes were related to cell growth-healthy beta cells may respond to increased blood glucose levels by copying themselves, but these cells were getting stuck as they tried to divide. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Weir's team found that in the rats with just slightly greater glucose levels, beta cells showed dramatic increases in the expression of some key genes involved in T cell interactions. (medicalxpress.com)
  • That effect could make the beta cells a better target for autoimmune attack, and thus speed the disease. (medicalxpress.com)
  • This finding may improve the understanding of the rapid death of beta cells that patients typically experience just before they are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Weir says. (medicalxpress.com)
  • During this period, if insulin treatments can bring the remaining beta cells back down to only slightly elevated glucose levels, the cells can function much better, he says. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Immunologists often blamed this loss on inflammation of the beta cells, but other studies have shown that less than half of these cells appear to suffer from inflammation. (medicalxpress.com)
  • So somehow these beta cells with no evidence of inflammation end up not secreting properly," Weir says. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Transplants of normal beta cells carry the risk of rejection or side effects from immunosuppressive therapies. (technologynetworks.com)
  • But whereas the former approach filled these needles with manmade bubbles of insulin, this new "smart cell patch" integrates the needles with live beta cells. (technologynetworks.com)
  • However, alpha cells do not normally become beta cells. (press-news.org)

  • So our next step is to find out which molecule(s) caerulein is targeting on alpha cells that triggers their transformation into beta cells. (press-news.org)
