Progress in Diabetes Research
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have collaborated with a Cambridge-based biotechnology company to identify the gene responsible for a form of diabetes. The team working on the discovery believe it could eventually lead to the development of new drugs to treat the condition. Stephen O'Rahilly, Professor of Metabolic Medicine, and Krishna... view more... (1999-12-21)
Using evolution, UW team creates a template for many new therapeutic agents
By guiding an enzyme down a new evolutionary pathway, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has created a new form of an enzyme capable of producing a range of potential new therapeutic agents with anticancer and antibiotic properties. view more (2007-09-10)
A potential sugar fix for tumors
Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments. view more (2008-04-16)
Researchers study potential health benefits of natural chemicals in muscadine grape seeds
Could some of the natural chemicals found in plants be powerful enough to improve cardiovascular health" Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center are conducting the first-ever clinical study to evaluate the potential cardiovascular health effects of Nature's Pearl Muscadine Grape Seed Supplement. view more (2007-10-25)
Carnitine supplements reverse glucose intolerance in animals
Supplementing obese rats with the nutrient carnitine helps the animals to clear the extra sugar in their blood, something they had trouble doing on their own, researchers at Duke University Medical Center report. view more (2009-08-13)
Nutrition experts propose new class of low-sugar drinks to help stem obesity and diabetes epidemics
Strong evidence developed at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and elsewhere shows that sugary drinks are an important contributor to the epidemic rise of obesity and type 2 diabetes in the United States. view more (2009-04-21)
Sugar identified as key to malaria parasite invasion
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified a sugar in mosquitoes that allows the malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, to attach itself to the mosquito's gut. view more (2007-09-11)
Women with diabetes left behind in drop in death rates
A new analysis of data from three large national databases finds that in the 29 years between 1971 and 2000, the death rate of men with diabetes has dropped significantly, in line with the overall decline of the death rate for all Americans. But the death rate for women with diabetes did not decline at all. view more (2007-06-19)
Disabling mouse enzyme increases fertility
Changing the sugars attached to a hormone produced in the pituitary gland increased fertility levels in mice nearly 50 percent, a research group at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found. view more (2008-05-19)
Study: Fountain of youth for your heart?
An age-related decline in heart function is a risk factor for heart disease in the elderly. While many factors contribute to a progressive age-related decline in heart function, alterations in the types of fuels the heart uses to produce energy also play important roles. view more (2007-11-05)
Sleep apnea increases risk of diabetes and hypertension in pregnant women
Sleep apnea is associated with a greatly increased incidence of pregnancy-induced diabetes and high blood pressure. view more (2007-05-23)
Ashwell receptor reduces mortality during sepsis
In research that solves the longest-standing mystery in glycobiology - a field that studies complex sugar chains called glycans - researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that a molecule in the liver of all animals, called the Ashwell receptor, is critical in helping the body fight off the abnormal... view more...

UF makes gene therapy advance in severe genetic disorder
A dog born with a deadly disease that prevents the body from using stored sugar has survived 20 months and is still healthy after receiving gene therapy at the University of Florida - putting scientists a step closer to finding a cure for the disorder in children. view more (2009-05-29)
Defining gene's role may lead to prevention of dangerous corn toxin
Discovery that a specific gene is integral to both fungal invasion of corn and development of a potentially deadly toxin in the kernels may lead to ways to control the pathogen and the poison. view more (2008-03-26)

Shining sweetness â€" fluorescent sugars shed new light on future TB therapies
The discovery that fluorescent sugar molecules mark important enzymes of the tuberculosis bacillus will facilitate investigation of the potential importance of the enzymes for future tuberculosis (TB) therapies. This insight is a gratifying "by-product" of research at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Graz University of... view more... (2003-05-19)
New imaging technique reveals fatty hearts
A simple imaging technique developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has revealed fat buildup in the hearts of pre-diabetic people long before symptoms of heart disease or diabetes appear. view more (2007-09-05)
Researchers continue to find genes for type 1 diabetes
Genetics researchers have identified two novel gene locations that raise the risk of type 1 diabetes. As they continue to reveal pieces of the complicated genetic puzzle for this disease, the researchers expect to improve predictive tests and devise preventive strategies. view more (2008-10-15)
Diabetes targets will be impractical in routine practice
Targets due to be set as part of the national service framework for diabetes in England and Wales will be impractical for use in routine clinical care, according to an article in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-06-26)
