Whole organ 3D imaging reveals remaining insulin producing cells in type 1 diabetes

AI Summary

Researchers at Umeå University conducted a unique 3D mapping of an entire human pancreas, revealing that insulin-producing cells remain long after type 1 diabetes onset. This finding challenges previous assumptions about the disease's progression.

Researchers at Umeå University have conducted a unique three-dimensional mapping of an entire human pancreas. The study shows that insulin-producing cells can remain long after the onset of type 1 diabetes—a finding that suggests the disease progression is more complex than previously assumed.
