Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease characterized by long-term insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Conventional T2D medication ignores pancreatic β-cell damage. In this study, we designed an oral glucose-responsive nanoparticle for pancreatic β-cell regeneration and treatment of T2D.

Pancreatic ε-cells producing ghrelin are one type of endocrine cell found in islets, which have been shown to influence other intra-islet cells, especially in regulating the function of β cells. However, the role of such cells during β-cell regeneration is currently unknown. Here, using a zebrafish nitroreductase (NTR)-mediated β-cell ablation model, we reveal that ghrelin-positive ε-cells in the pancreas act as contributors to neogenic β-cells after extreme β-cell loss.

Objective: Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for diabetes via promoting the differentiation of insulin-producing cells (IPCs). This study aimed to screen the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) during the differentiation of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) into IPCs, and uncover the underlying function and mechanism of a specific DEmiRNA, miR-708-5p.
Methods: MDSCs were successfully isolated from the leg muscle of rats, and were induced for IPCs differentiation through a five-stage protocol.

Objective: Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) survey the gut luminal environment and coordinate hormonal, immune and neuronal responses to it. They exhibit well-characterised physiological roles ranging from the control of local gut function to whole body metabolism, but little is known regarding the regulatory networks controlling their differentiation, especially in the human gut. The small molecule isoxazole-9 (ISX-9) has been shown to stimulate neuronal and pancreatic beta-cell differentiation, both closely related to EEC differentiation.
