Researcher explores why smoking increases the risk of heart disease and strokes
Researchers at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles and Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona have discovered a reason why smoking increases the risk of heart disease and strokes. view more (2009-06-12)
Exploiting Nature's Weapons in the Fight Against Diabetes
Scientists at the University of Ulster are harnessing molecules produced naturally in the body to tackle one of the world's major health problems - diabetes. Their novel approach involves bioengineering gut peptides - molecules produced in the human intestine and released in response to feeding - to prolong their duration of action and,... view more...

Human beta-cell line offers hope for type 1 diabetes breakthrough
Transplantation of insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells shows great promise as a treatment for type 1 diabetes, but development of this therapy has been hampered by a severe shortage of donor beta-cells, which are obtained from decreased human donors. view more (2005-09-27)
Mayo researchers look for explanation behind high incidence of diabetes among Asian Indians
The incidence of type 2 diabetes is rising, especially in urbanized parts of the world where sedentary lifestyles and obesity abound. In addition to weight and inactivity, race puts some people at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. view more (2008-03-03)
Diabetes can lead to gum disease in childhood; onset is younger than previously recognized
While the link between diabetes and periodontal disease was previously established, it was believed that the regression of gums began much later and increased with age. view more (2006-02-09)
Eyes may provide window to future strokes
Looking into our eyes may help doctors predict who is at risk for stroke. A new study found that people with changes in the small blood vessels in their eyes are more likely to later suffer a stroke than people without these signs. view more (2005-10-11)
Will stem cell-based treatments make a difference to the developing world?
A new study in the open access journal PLoS Medicine suggests that developing countries could benefit enormously from the new field of regenerative medicine, in which treatments are being developed from stem cells. view more (2006-09-12)
Microscopic scaffolding offers a 'simple' solution to treating skin injuries
A revolutionary dissolvable scaffold for growing new areas of skin could provide a safer, more effective way of treating burns, diabetic ulcers and similar injuries. view more (2006-06-28)
Joslin Researchers Discover a Surprising Culprit in the Search for Causes of Diabetic Birth Defects
Over the past several years, Joslin Investigator Mary R. Loeken, Ph.D., and her colleagues at Joslin Diabetes Center have unlocked several mysteries behind what puts women with diabetes more at risk of having a child with birth defects. view more (2007-03-06)
Scientists discover leptin can also aid type 1 diabetics
Terminally ill rodents with type 1 diabetes have been restored to full health with a single injection of a substance other than insulin by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2008-08-26)
Second low-oxygen pathway hints at cancer, cardiovascular disease physiology
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a second molecular pathway that promotes cell survival in low-oxygen conditions. view more (2006-02-17)
ESC Congress 2004: Effect of concentric and eccentric muscle training on glucose tolerance in healthy sedentary individuals
Disorders in the metabolism of glucose and lipids have reached an epidemic dimension. Important reasons for this tremendous problem are overweight and a lack of exercise. There are plenty of data verifying a positive effect of exercise on glucose and lipid metabolism. However, no data are available on different ways of training, e.g. the... view more... (2004-08-30)
Researchers engineer pancreatic cell transplants to evade immune response
In a finding that could significantly influence the way type 1 diabetes is treated, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed a technique for transplanting insulin-producing pancreatic cells that causes only a minimal immune response in recipients. view more (2009-01-05)
NO ADDITIONAL BENEFIT FROM ORAL INSULIN FOR PEOPLE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (pp 526, 545)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows that oral insulin does not slow the destruction of insulin-secreting cells in people with type 1 diabetes when taken in addition to intravenous insulin therapy. Oral administration of insulin can slow the progression of b-cell destruction in non-obese diabetic mice. Lucy Chaillous and... view more... (2000-08-09)
Sleep apnea may increase risk of diabetes
Researchers at the Yale University School of Medicine have found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea are at increased risk for developing of type II diabetes. view more (2007-05-21)
Joslin discovers signs of residual islet cell function in people with long-term type 1 diabetes
Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have discovered that a surprisingly high percentage of people with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent) who have had the disease for 50 years or longer (The Joslin Medalists) may still have residual functioning, insulin-producing islet cells and/or islet cell antibodies. view more (2006-06-12)

First in New York: Bionic technology aims to give sight to woman blinded beginning at age 13
A 50-year-old New York woman who was diagnosed with a progressive blinding disease at age 13 was implanted with an experimental electronic eye implant that has partially restored her vision. view more (2009-10-22)
Mayo Clinic discovery may help diabetic gastric problem
Mayo Clinic researchers have found what may provide a solution to one of the more troubling complications of diabetes -- delayed gastric emptying or gastroparesis. view more (2008-09-26)
UCF team's advanced nerve cell system could help cure diabetic neuropathy, related diseases
Multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, and other conditions caused by a loss of myelin insulation around nerves can be debilitating and even deadly, but adequate treatments do not yet exist. view more (2009-06-23)
