An unassuming brown bovine from the south of Brazil has made history as the first transgenic cow capable of producing human insulin in her milk. The advancement, led by researchers from the University ...

Could cow milk be the new cure for diabetes? Researchers have genetically modified a brown cow in Brazil to produce human insulin in its milk, which marks a breakthrough in diabetes treatment research ...

Some people produce more insulin in response to proteins and fats than carbs, new research has found. Suggesting that insulin production is more individualized than first believed, the findings pave ...

When it comes to managing blood sugar levels, most people think about counting carbs. But new research shows that, for some, it may be just as important to consider the proteins and fats in their diet ...

A genetically modified cow has produced milk containing human insulin, according to a new study. The proof-of-concept achievement could be scaled up to, eventually, produce enough insulin to ensure ...

How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers have investigated this question. The hormone insulin plays a central ...

Most people associate blood sugar and insulin with diabetes. Those who don't suffer from the so-called sugar disease probably rarely think about their own blood sugar levels or how insulin works in ...

The image shows in magenta the insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and a second group of nerve cells (DH44 positive cells, green), which together with the IPCs regulate central aspects of the energy ...
