UF researchers awaken vision cells in blind mice
University of Florida researchers used gene therapy to restore sight in mice with a form of hereditary blindness, a finding that has bearing on many of the most common blinding diseases. view more (2007-05-22)
Salk study links diabetes and Alzheimer's disease
Diabetic individuals have a significantly higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the molecular connection between the two remains unexplained. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies identified the probable molecular basis for the diabetes - Alzheimer's interaction. view more (2008-05-01)
Cancer and arthritis therapy may be promising treatment for diabetes
An antibody used to treat certain cancers and rheumatoid arthritis appears to greatly delay type 1 diabetes in mice, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2007-12-19)
New Discovery in Preventing Diabetic Complications
A new study sheds light on the response to infection in people with type 2 diabetes. These individuals develop diabetes associated with obesity. Findings from this study revealed that controlling a specific protein produced by the body, known as a cytokine, reduces the expression of other molecules and helps control inflammation. This is... view more... (2004-08-23)
Study shows potential for resolving type 2 diabetes with bariatric surgery
As the incidence of obesity-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase worldwide, medical research indicates that surgery to reduce obesity can completely eliminate all manifestations of diabetes. view more (2009-03-03)
Early-onset of diabetes associated with increased risk of kidney disease and death before age 55
Onset of type 2 diabetes before age 20 in a population of American Indians is associated with a substantially increased risk of end-stage kidney disease and death between 25 and 55 years of age. view more (2006-07-26)
UT Southwestern study shows how substance in grapes may squeeze out diabetes
A naturally produced molecule called resveratrol, found in the skin of red grapes, has been shown to lower insulin levels in mice when injected directly into the brain, even when the animals ate a high-fat diet. view more (2009-10-15)
Study Highlights Need For Improved Care Of Diabetes Patients In UK General Practice
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how people with diabetes controlled by diet alone have significant rates of complications and are less likely than patients on medication to be adequately monitored. Authors of the study conclude that there is great scope for the improved care of diabetic patients within UK general... view more... (2004-07-28)
Scripps research combination therapy obliterates new vessel growth in tumors and retinopathy
While new blood vessel growth from preexisting capillaries ("angiogenesis") is fundamental to survival, the abnormal formation of new blood vessels ("neovascularization") contributes to the pathogenesis of tumor growth and metastasis as well as the vast majority of diseases that lead to catastrophic loss of vision. view more (2007-01-11)
Long-term study shows brain function not impaired by tight diabetes control and hypoglycemia
The landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) funded by the National Institutes of Health, which followed 1,441 people with type 1 diabetes for a decade until 1993, showed conclusively that tight blood glucose control significantly reduces the risk of developing complications of diabetes such as eye, kidney and nerve disease. view more (2006-06-13)
Study provides first look at the 'birth' of a retina cell
Scientists at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center have gained new insight into the way an embryonic retina cell develops and then commits itself to a specific role. view more (2006-05-08)
Cytokine resistance contributes to pathology of type 2 diabetes
In a study appearing this month in the Journal of Immunology, researchers at the University of Illinois describe how an impaired anti-inflammatory response plays a role in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-06-18)
Groundbreaking study tackles costly disease - Type 2 diabetes -affecting millions of people worldwide.
NEWCASTLE University scientists have had a major breakthrough in tackling Type 2 diabetes, which has become a huge worldwide concern and is costing billions of pounds to treat each year. A groundbreaking study, carried out in collaboration with Liverpool University, has found Type 2 diabetes treatment, Avandia (rosiglitazone) could prevent the... view more... (2001-09-10)
NYU, Scripps finding offers new path for treatment of diabetes
Researchers at New York University and the Scripps Research Institute have discovered a new enzyme, GAPDH, which regulates insulin pathways-a finding that offers a new direction for the treatment of diabetes. view more (2006-11-28)

Obesity chokes up the cellular power plant
The machinery responsible for energy production in fat cells is working poorly as a result of obesity. Finnish research done at the University of Helsinki and the National Public Health Institute shows that this may aggravate and work to maintain the obese state in humans. view more (2008-03-13)
First evidence of gene therapy for abnormal blood vessel growth in newborns
The first evidence of the potential for gene therapy to treat eye disease that stems from abnormal blood vessel growth is revealed in research published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Gene therapy is a relatively new and much heralded therapeutic approach. But despite the advances in molecular genetics, attempts to target organs or... view more... (2001-07-18)
Children of diabetics show signs of atherosclerosis
The blood vessels of people whose parents both have type 2 diabetes do not respond as well to changes in blood flow as those of people without a family history of diabetes, even if they do not have diabetes themselves. view more (2006-06-21)
New Cell Transplantation Technique Restores Insulin Production in Diabetics
Researchers are using a new cell transplantation technique to restore the cells that produce insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes. The method is minimally invasive, with few complications. view more (2005-11-30)
End-stage renal disease incidence, prognosis improving for patients with diabetes
Patients with type 1 diabetes have an improved prognosis with regard to end-stage renal disease over the past four decades, and it appears the incidence of end-stage renal disease is lower than previously estimated. view more (2005-10-12)
