Beta Cell

 (β cell) are a type of cell found in pancreatic islets that synthesize and secrete insulin.

Appearance
Beta cells all wear the standard Beta Cell uniform.

Background
Beta cells make up 50-70% of the cells in human pancreatic islets. In patients with type I or type II diabetes, beta-cell mass and function are diminished, leading to insufficient insulin secretion and hyperglycemia.

History
His colleagues decided to hang themselves because they can't fulfill the overloaded insulin request. This mirrors the real-world apoptosis (programmed cell death) of beta cells in type I and type II diabetes.
