Similar organization of the FIKL cells discovered in the study (left) and pancreatic beta cells (right): the RNA molecules for insulin production (pink-oval) are located closer to the center of the cell, while the insulin molecules themselves (green) accumulate near the cell wall and readiness for discharge

Not in the pancreas alone: ​​insulin-producing cells have been discovered in the fetal intestine

The surprising discovery of scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science and Yale University opens up new possibilities for the treatment of diabetes
