Women at risk from vitamin A deficiency
Almost half of UK women could be suffering from a lack of vitamin A due to a previously undiscovered genetic variation, scientists at Newcastle University have found. view more (2009-11-18)
Joslin study indicates insulin receptors play a critical role in promoting islet growth
A new Joslin-led study has identified the insulin receptor as an important protein that promotes islet cell growth in mice whose bodies are unable to use insulin properly, or are insulin resistant, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-04-03)
Device Protects Transplanted Pancreatic Cells from the Immune System
Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) and the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) School of Medicine have demonstrated in mice that transplanted pancreatic precursor cells are protected from the immune system when encapsulated in polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE). view more (2009-04-10)
Pumpkin: A fairytale end to insulin injections?
Compounds found in pumpkin could potentially replace or at least drastically reduce the daily insulin injections that so many diabetics currently have to endure. view more (2007-07-09)
Scientists develop fungus-fighting vaccine
group of scientists in Italy have developed a vaccine with the potential to protect against fungal pathogens that commonly infect humans, according to a study by Torosantucci and colleagues in the September 5 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2005-09-06)
Joslin-led study reveals findings on how insulin-producing beta cells grow and function
Joslin-led study reveals findings on how insulin-producing beta cells grow and function view more (2006-04-24)
CHEO RI study uses sophisticated genetic engineering to improve insulin-producing beta cells
One of the biggest mysteries about diabetes is why specialized cells in the pancreas stop secreting insulin, which the body needs in order to store glucose from food. view more (2009-10-08)
Mouse model developed at UT Southwestern mimics hyperglycemia, aids in diabetes research
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have genetically engineered a laboratory mouse in which pancreatic beta cells can regenerate after being induced to die. The new animal model's regenerative ability may provide future insights into improved treatments of diabetes, which affects millions of Americans. view more (2008-06-02)
New study identifies link between Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in healthy adults
The Netherlands -- A study published in the November issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease provides an insight into normal, physiological levels and association between proteins involved in development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-12-02)
Joslin-led study uncovers role of appetite hormone MCH in insulin production
A new Joslin Diabetes Center-led study has shown conclusively that a neuropeptide, melanin concentrating hormone (MCH), found in the brain and known for its role in increasing appetite in people, plays a role in the growth of insulin-producing beta cells and the secretion of insulin. view more (2007-01-29)
Another hope for multiple sclerosis patients. Improved Interferon-beta patent recently granted by
Blurred vision, weak limbs, tingling sensations, unsteadiness and fa-tigue are the symptoms of one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, the multiple sclerosis (MS). It is estimated that MS currently affects over 2,500,000 people worldwide. There is new hope for MS patients: The protein Interferon-beta, which is produced in... view more... (2003-08-06)
Alzheimer's gene identified: study
An international effort led by scientists at the University of Toronto, Columbia University and Boston University has isolated another gene responsible for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-01-15)
Beta-blockers reduce mortality in patients with COPD after vascular surgery
In the first study to directly examine the effects of beta-blockers on surgical patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers have found that, contrary to previous thought, beta-blockers significantly reduce mortality in COPD patients. view more (2008-10-01)
Research suggests beta agonists may alter the immune system
New research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests that certain inhaled asthma medications - as well as similar chemicals our bodies produce during times of high stress - may worsen diseases such as asthma, heart failure and lupus that involve inflammation. view more (2006-11-17)
Increased sensitivity to nerve signals keeps diabetes at bay
Nerve signals relayed directly to the pancreas after eating a meal play a critical role in normal blood sugar control. view more (2006-06-07)
Proteins that stop a major signaling pathway can also generate new proteins
Duke University Medical Center researchers have recently discovered that a crucial communications pathway in cells not only stops cells from making proteins, it also makes them go. view more (2008-04-25)
Cholesterol metabolism links early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease
Although the causes of Alzheimer's disease are not completely understood, amyloid-beta (A-beta) is widely considered a likely culprit - the "sticky" protein clumps into plaques thought to harm brain cells. view more (2007-10-05)
Brightly-coloured fruit and veg may protect against arthritis
Researchers from The University of Manchester's Medical School have discovered that eating more brightly-coloured fruits and vegetables like oranges, carrots and sweetcorn may help reduce the risk of developing inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2005-08-18)
White blood cells are picky about sugar
Biology textbooks are blunt-neutrophils are mindless killers. These white blood cells patrol the body and guard against infection by bacteria and fungi, identifying and destroying any invaders that cross their path. view more (2007-07-12)
Mortality rate is twice as high in patients with pneumonia caused by highly resistant bacteria
Patients suffering from hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by a type of bacteria that is highly resistant to virtually all antibiotics are twice as likely to die as patients infected with other, less resistant bacteria. view more (2006-08-01)
