11.   If successful, the cells produce insulin, allowing the body to convert sugar into energy or store it away as fat.

12.   In diabetes, islet cells are destroyed by the immune system or fail to produce enough insulin.

13.   In diabetes, the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin, which allows sugar in the blood to enter cells.

14.   Insulin is produced in the pancreas and circulates to virtually every tissue in the human body, Goldfine said.

15.   It may soon be possible, the report states, to coax human embryonic stem cells into forming pancreatic cells that produce insulin and reverse the symptoms of diabetes.

16.   Jones developed technology to help certain cells, including ones that produce insulin, grow properly in a laboratory.

17.   Known clinically as repaglinide, it stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, a naturally occurring hormone necessary to process blood sugar into energy.

18.   Pancreatic cells are already restoring the ability of some diabetics to produce insulin.

19.   Pancreatic islets that contain insulin-producing cells have been transplanted into diabetic patients and successfully engrafted to produce insulin.

20.   Prandin acts by stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin, a naturally occurring hormone needed to process glucose, or blood sugar into energy.
