Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I don't think that's possible, oemBiology

What makes you think it is possible, and does this have anything to do with diabetes?

Referring to following link, is there a life cycle for beta cells?

1) once beta cell is die, would body generate beta cell naturally for healing? or
2) once beta cell is die, the amount of beta cell would be reduced permanently.

Can beta cell be regenerated? which above statement is correct?

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)


"Diabetes type I is caused by the autoimmune response and destruction of beta cells, while diabetes type II is caused by the diminished responsiveness of the beta cells to cellular signals. As both forms of the condition center upon the activity of beta cells it is hoped that the result could enable the reversal of the condition, through expanding transplanted cells or recovering a patient’s own cells.

Referring to following link, I would like to know on what cause immune system to attack the insulin-producing beta cells in your pancreas. That is one cause of reducing beta cells.

Do you have any suggestions?

1) Beta cells lack the capacity to regenerate: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6986204/

2) Type-2 is caused by insulin resistance. Insulin resistance stresses the pancreas beta cells. It does this because cells need glucose for fuel and when insulin resistance blocks entrance of glucose to the cells, they send hormone requests for more glucose and as more glucose enters the blood stream the pancreas releases more insulin to keep the glucose levels in normal range. When enough beta cells die from overuse then the pancreas can no longer keep glucose level down and diabetes is diagnosed.
