'Smart' process may boost economics of biofuel production
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory believe they've identified a simpler way to generate biofuels - a one-step process to convert cellulose found in plant material and other biomass into a chemical that can serve as a precursor to make fuels and plastics.   view more (2009-06-08)

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)

UT-Houston's Northrup and Colleagues Uncover Genetic Link to Spina Bifida
Researchers at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston have discovered an association between genes regulating glucose metabolism and spina bifida. The decade-long study looked at more than 1,500 DNA samples from parents and their children with that birth defect.   view more (2007-12-19)

Protein that regulates aging may provide key to new diabetes therapies
Opening the possibility of new therapies for type 2 diabetes, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a protein called Sirt1 enhances the secretion of insulin in mice and allows them to better control blood glucose levels.   view more (2005-08-19)

A Mother's Obesity Can Cause Malformations In Her Children
A study of more than 2000 children of women with gestational diabetes (the diabetes that some women get during pregnancy) has revealed that obesity in mothers is one of the most decisive factors contributing to the appearance of congenital malformations in their children, even more so than the seriousness of the diabetes. The research, published... view more... (2004-07-16)

Breath analysis offers potential for noninvasive blood sugar monitoring in diabetes

Coffee Addicts At Reduced Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes? (p 1477)
High coffee consumption could be associated with a rduced risk of type 2 diabetes, suggest Dutch authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Caffeine is known to reduce sensitivity to insulin (responsible for the metabolism of glucose), although other components of coffee such as magnesium and chlorogenic acid could offer some... view more...

Diabetics to benefit as clinical chemistry gets under the skin
Water makes up more than 70 percent of our bodies, and our skin works like an oily film providing an effective barrier to keep water and the other charged substances inside us. But skin is not an impermeable material, and charged substances from inside the body can be made to cross the skin barrier by applying an electric field. Iontophoresis is a... view more...

Drugs targeted at muscle cells can be of use in the treatment of diabetes patients with insulin resistance
Type 2 diabetes is a clinical disease characterised by disruption to the metabolism of glucose and lipids as well as to the production of and physiological reactions to insulin. These disruptions are partly due to a reduced absorption of glucose in the cells that form the body's fat and muscle tissue. Now scientists at Karolinska Institutet have... view more... (2005-04-18)
