Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new measurement for the volume and activity of beta cells, the source of the sugar-regulating hormone insulin.

Unlike previous methods for measuring the quantity of beta cells, the new test also measures how actively these cells are making insulin.

The new test can be used to evaluate treatments or cell transplants intended to slow or reverse diabetes.
