Pancreatic Islet Regeneration Artwork
Pancreatic Islet Regeneration explores the groundbreaking science of regenerating islet cells, vital for insulin production and diabetes management. Recent studies highlight stem cell therapies and growth factors as promising methods to restore beta-cell function, offering hope for future treatments.
The leaflet that accompanies this art delves into research showing how these cells can be revived, honouring the dedicated scientists driving this field forward. Linked via QR code printed on each piece, it provides access to the original paper, bridging art and science for an educational experience.
