Islet of langerhans, light micrograph. This structure (centre), found in the pancreas, secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon, which control blood sugar levels. Magnification: x200 when printed at ...

An organoid containing all three pancreatic cell lineages has been developed for the first time, providing a clearer picture of how the pancreas develops. Organoids can help us better understand ...

Researchers at Umeå University have succeeded in imaging an entire human organ, a pancreas, in microscopic resolution. By staining different cell-types with antibodies and then using optical 3D ...

Severe chronic pancreatitis is treated by removing the pancreas. Without a pancreas, patients also lose insulin-producing cells called islets. To preserve insulin responses, surgeons transplant islets ...
