The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine ...

Islets, found in the pancreas, are clusters of insulin-secreting and other cells enmeshed in tiny, specialized blood vessels. The insulin cells are killed by an autoimmune process in type 1 ...

Moreover, given the anatomically complex positioning of the pancreas, which is surrounded by many blood vessels, surgery can be tricky. Damage to key arteries may lead to serious bleeding ...

The pancreatic islet is the only human tissue ... However, a major challenge has been replicating the blood-vessel-rich environment that native islets rely on for survival. Now, researchers ...

Ultrasound is emerging as an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer ... and had become intertwined with blood vessels, making it inoperable. A hospital in China referred him to this facility ...

POSTECH uses 3D printing for treating diabetes. Scientists have created an advanced 3D printing method for insulin-producing cell growth.

By incorporating engineered human blood vessel cells called reprogrammed vascular endothelial ... the body’s immune system destroys insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. Islet transplantation ...
