A new generation of "green" automobile tires that can boost fuel efficiency without sacrificing safety and durability is rolling their way through the research pipeline. view more (2009-11-19)
A single mechanism for hypertension, insulin resistance and immune suppression
Many of the 75 million Americans with essential hypertension also develop diabetes and other complications in addition to their high blood pressure, and researchers have discovered a common molecular mechanism in a strain of rat that explains why such metabolic disorders arise together in mammals. view more (2008-06-30)

Landmark Trial to Evaluate Cardioprotective Properties of Insulin
The ability of insulin to limit heart-tissue damage during a heart attack will be tested in a landmark clinical trial led by Paresh Dandona, M.D., Ph.D., University at Buffalo Distinguished Professor in the departments of Medicine and Pharmacology and Toxicology in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. view more (2007-11-12)
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)
Stem cell breakthrough offers diabetes hope
Scientists have discovered a new technique for turning embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue in what could prove a significant breakthrough in the quest to find new treatments for diabetes. view more (2008-04-03)
Battling Diabetes with Beta Cells
Affecting eight percent of America's population, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, strokes and heart disease. Thanks to Tel Aviv University researchers, a new cure -- based on advances in cell therapy -- may be within reach. view more (2008-09-03)

Gene variant increases risk of type 2 diabetes
Researchers have confirmed that a gene variant confers susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in participants of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large clinical trial in adults at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-07-20)
human genetic Databases and Resistance to Antibiotics - two Lords Reports to Be Published 29th March
The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee will publish two reports on health-related issues on Thursday 29th March. The first report, Human Genetic Databases, published at 0001 hrs, will consider the challenges and opportunities in the fast-moving field of genetics and health. Value will be derived from new knowledge about the sequence... view more... (2001-03-27)
U of I study: Fructose metabolism more complicated than was thought
A new University of Illinois study suggests that we may pay a price for ingesting too much fructose. According to lead author Manabu Nakamura, dietary fructose affects a wide range of genes in the liver that had not previously been identified. view more (2008-12-10)
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)
XDR TB in South Africa traced to lack of drug susceptibility testing
In South Africa, the 2001 implementation of the World Health Organization's anti-tuberculosis program may have inadvertently helped to create a new strain of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB). view more (2007-10-23)
Nightshades: 'overflowing' with Phytophthora resistant genes?
The potato and other related varieties of the Solanum species contain scores or perhaps even hundreds of genes that can give the plant a degree of resistance to 'potato blight', a disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. This is one of the conclusions that came to light in Vivianne Vleeshouwers' thesis, with which she recently earned her doctoral... view more... (2001-02-01)
