Beta cell regeneration

Beta cell regeneration refers to the process by which the pancreas produces new beta cells, which are responsible for producing insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. In individuals with diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, these cells are damaged or destroyed. Research aims to understand how to stimulate the body's ability to regenerate these cells or to create new ones through techniques like stem cell therapy or promoting cellular growth. Enhancing beta cell regeneration could lead to better management or potential cures for diabetes, helping to restore normal blood sugar control.
