Pancreas
/glands/pancreas/
The pancreas is an organ that serves two vital purposes: to aid food digestion and to produce hormones that mainly serve to control levels of energy in the blood.

Glucagon
/hormones/glucagon/
Glucagon is produced to maintain glucose levels in the bloodstream when fasting and to raise very low glucose levels.

Insulin
/hormones/insulin/
Insulin is an essential hormone produced by the pancreas. Its main role is to control glucose levels in our bodies.

Somatostatinoma
/endocrine-conditions/somatostatinoma/
Somatostatinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumours that arise from tumour cells originated from specialised hormone-producing cells in the endocrine pancreas and duodenum (first part of small intestine).

Could 3D printed pancreases be the cure for type 1 diabetes? Will AI take over in the IVF clinic? How and why have researchers created a remote controlled adrenal gland? Simon Hanassab, Dr Vicky Salem and Professor Polina Anikeeva are separating science fact from science fiction and seeing how future technology could solve today’s hormone problems.
