Hewitt Announces Details Of Massive £120 Million Science Share Out
Trade Secretary Patricia Hewitt today unveiled details of how more than 200 universities, colleges, and hospitals across the UK will benefit from a £120 million science jackpot. In April 2001, institutions were invited to bid for cash support to further exploit their research and development potential and forge stronger links with industry.... view more... (2001-10-01)
Mothers' high normal blood sugar levels place infants at risk for birth problems
Pregnant women with blood sugar levels in the higher range of normal-but not high enough to be considered diabetes-are more likely than women with lower blood sugar levels to give birth to babies at risk for many of the same problems seen in babies born to women with diabetes during pregnancy, according to a study funded in large part by the... view more...

New study in the journal Sleep finds that sleep duration raises the risk for diabetes
The most common factors believed to contribute to diabetes are a decreased amount of physical activity and access to highly palatable processed foods. view more (2007-12-03)
Blood testing, mosquito style
A skin patch could one day provide a less-invasive alternative for diabetics who need to take regular samples of their own blood to keep glucose levels in check. The common method of drawing blood from fingertips and using glucose testing strips and metres can be painful, inconvenient and time-consuming. view more (2009-04-24)
New computer program uses brain scans to assess risk of Alzheimer's
New York University School of Medicine researchers have developed a brain scan-based computer program that quickly and accurately measures metabolic activity in a key region of the brain affected in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-06-20)
Duke researchers find physician resistance hinders diabetics use of cutting edge technology
Diabetic patients who use newer technologies such as insulin pumps and blood glucose monitoring devices are better able to manage their disease and adhere to treatment regimens, with less daily pain, than with conventional treatments. view more (2006-10-16)
Gladstone study links Alzheimer's with toxic protein fragments
New research from the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease details exactly how a mutant form of the protein apolipoprotein E, also known as apoE, is a causative factor for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a molecular link between a high-fat, Western-style diet, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2005-12-29)
The accumulation of sugar in neurons may explain the origin of several neurodegenerative diseases
A phenomenon considered healthy for cells, such as the accumulation of long chains of glucose (glycogen), which tissues store for energy purposes, is harmful for neurons. view more (2007-10-22)
Scientists discover new genetic variation that contributes to diabetes
Scientists have identified a genetic variation in people with type 2 diabetes that affects how the body's muscle cells respond to the hormone insulin, in a new study published today in Nature Genetics. The researchers, from Imperial College London and other international institutions, say the findings highlight a new target for scientists... view more... (2009-09-08)
Nano-tetherball biosensor precisely detects glucose
Researchers have created a precise biosensor for detecting blood glucose and potentially many other biological molecules by using hollow structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes anchored to gold-coated "nanocubes." view more (2009-01-23)
Study confirms intensive treatment of diabetic patients significantly reduces heart disease
New study results confirm, for the first time, that intensive treatment of diabetic patients results in a significantly lower risk of heart disease. In fact, it can cut the risk of cardiovascular disease nearly in half. view more (2005-06-17)
Research team responds to concerns about international insulin drug trial
Accumulating safety data from the large, international ORIGIN trial have been reviewed by its independent data monitoring committee, who have concluded that there is no cause for concern. view more (2009-08-11)
Memory test and PET scans detect early signs of Alzheimer's
A large study of patients with mild cognitive impairment revealed that results from cognitive tests and brain scans can work as an early warning system for the subsequent development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-07-14)
Diabetes Risk Factors Develop Earlier in Women than Men
The "diabetes clock" may start ticking in women years in advance of a medical diagnosis of the disease, new research has shown view more (2007-02-21)
Widely prescribed diabetes drug falls short of promise, says new review
A new systematic review calls into the question the health benefits versus risks of an oral medicine widely prescribed for diabetes throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. view more (2006-10-18)
Findings show insulin - not genes - linked to obesity
Researchers have uncovered new evidence suggesting factors other than genes could cause obesity, finding that genetically identical cells store widely differing amounts of fat depending on subtle variations in how cells process insulin. view more (2009-04-15)
New method uses electrolyzed water for more efficient fuel production
Using electrolyzed water rather than harsh chemicals could be a more effective and environmentally friendly method in the pretreatment of ethanol waste products to produce an acetone-butanol-ethanol fuel mix, according to research conducted at the University of Illinois. view more (2009-07-28)
Pycnogenol delays glucose absorption 190 times more potently than prescription medication
A new study to be published in an upcoming edition of the journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice reveals that French maritime pine tree extract known as Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-all) delays the uptake of glucose from a meal 190 times more than prescription medications, preventing the typical high-glucose peak in the blood stream... view more...

New biosensor could save lives by giving faster medical analysis.
Every day accident and emergency units have to treat patients who have taken some sort of drug overdose. To give treatment doctors need to know what the patient has taken. The circumstances can make often this difficult to ascertain quickly. Researchers are developing a new kind of biosensor, which can determine in minutes if a patient's blood... view more...
