Glucose-stimulated as well as self-limiting insulin production was achieved in vector-transduced hepatoma cells in which expression of the insulin gene was controlled by the G6Pase promoter.

Researchers uncover the role of a gene that is critical to boosting the number of insulin-producing cells during the early development of the pancreas.

In research published online Dec. 23, 2012 in the journal Nature Genetics, scientists have found three new and relatively rare genetic variants that influence insulin production, offering new ...

The insulin gene produces the polypeptide hormone insulin, which is required for normal glucose homeostasis and regulation of blood sugar levels. The lack of insulin or insulin insufficiency can ...

Three changes in total to the genetic code were needed to ensure the transplanted donor cells didn't trigger an immune ...

SemBioSys Genetics Inc. announced that it has been granted U.S. patent US 7,547,821 entitled "Methods for the Production of Insulin in Plants" The granted claims of the patent are directed to a method ...

A man with type 1 diabetes has become the first patient to produce his own insulin after receiving genetically engineered cell transplants, without needing drugs to prevent rejection.
