Weill Cornell Researchers Discover Beta Cell Type Associated with Type 2 Diabetes
|
On March 16, Prof. James Lo, pharmacology cell and developmental biology, and his team published a study identifying different types of cells in the pancreas, an organ responsible for aiding digestion and regulating sugar levels. The research team found one particular cell type to be closely linked to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Cornell Prof Explains Relevance of Creating Mouse Embryos from Stem Cells
|
In August 2022, NIH researchers from the University of Cambridge successfully created a synthetic mouse embryo model using cultured mice stem cells. This project aimed at using stem cells to express specific genes that would lead to the development of these mouse stem cells into embryos.
