Researchers at IISc Bengaluru discover potential drug-free treatment for diabetes by enhancing beta-cell function with small molecules.

The ability to regulate blood sugar is essential to our health. When beta cells first recognize higher glucose levels, they depolarize to trigger an increase in intracellular calcium and the rapid ...

Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it pertains to the pancreatic ß-cell is that the characteristic decreases in insulin synthesis and secretion are caused by decreased insulin gene expression.

Thousands of glucose molecules can be linked together to form the complex carbohydrate cellulose. Cellulose is a very tough molecule that is used to build the cell wall of plant cells. Plant cells ...
