flag Scientists developed electronic "cyborg" pancreas cells to monitor and boost insulin production in lab-grown islets, advancing diabetes treatment.

flag Researchers have created "cyborg" pancreatic organoids by embedding flexible electronic sensors into lab-grown islet cells, enabling real-time monitoring of electrical activity tied to glucose regulation. flag The hybrid system allows for precise tracking of cell maturation, responses to stimuli, and gene expression, while also delivering targeted electrical pulses to enhance insulin production and function. flag This approach, which mimics natural biological rhythms, may help lab-grown pancreatic cells mature properly, improving their ability to regulate blood sugar. flag The technology could advance regenerative medicine for diabetes, potentially reducing reliance on donor organs and immunosuppressive drugs.
