UNC scientists turn human skin cells into insulin-producing cells
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have transformed cells from human skin into cells that produce insulin, the hormone used to treat diabetes. view more (2008-09-18)
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 -- a potential link between heart failure and diabetes
Researchers at the University of Vermont Cardiovascular Research Institute, Colchester, Vermont have found that increased expression in the heart of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is profibrotic. view more (2009-02-24)
Potential preventative therapy for Type 1 diabetes
Scientists believe they may have found a preventative therapy for Type 1 diabetes, by making the body's killer immune cells tolerate the insulin-producing cells they would normally attack and destroy, prior to disease onset. view more (2009-04-29)
microRNA-mediated metabolism
In the February 15th issue of G&D, Drs. Aurelio Teleman and Stephen Cohen (EMBL) assign one of the first biological functions to an animal microRNA: the microRNA miR-278 regulates energy homeostasis in Drosophila. view more (2006-02-15)
Modified mushrooms may yield human drugs
Mushrooms might serve as biofactories for the production of various beneficial human drugs, according to plant pathologists who have inserted new genes into mushrooms. view more (2007-06-25)
A new approach to study flu drug resistance
Researchers have created a new approach for studying resistance to Neuraminidase Inhibitors (NI) in influenza. view more (2007-12-07)
First observation of linkage between genes controlling resistance found in crop pests
Researchers at Clemson University, USA have found connections between resistance controlling genes in Heliothis virescens F (Tobacco budworm), a serious pest of cotton. `This linkage may contribute to the rapid evolution of resistance observed in this pest` said researcher Thomas M Brown. view more (2002-01-30)
Apelin to rescue diabetics
Sugar is naturally present in the blood in the form of glucose and is stored in the liver or adipose tissue (fat) thanks to the action of insulin. Glucose is stored or directly used to ensure satisfactory function of the heart, brain and so on according to the body's demands. view more (2008-11-05)
New Model Helps Diabetes Research
Scientists at the Babraham Institute are developing new methods to aid research into the causes of diabetes, a condition suffered by around 2.5 million people in the UK. A new study, published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, describes an effective model of a rare form of the disease called transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM),... view more...

Alcohol not likely to protect against type II diabetes
Alcohol is unlikely to protect drinkers from the risk of developing adult onset (type II) diabetes, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Alcohol seems to confer only a slight advantage in moderate drinkers, the research shows. To date, the effects of light to moderate alcohol consumption on the risk of developing... view more...

UM Scientists Create Fruit Fly Model to Help Unravel Genetics of Human Diabetes
As rates of obesity, diabetes, and related disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the US in recent years, scientists are working from many angles to pinpoint the causes and contributing factors involved in this public health crisis. view more (2009-11-03)
Innocuous intestinal bacteria may be reservoir for resistance
"Harmless" bacteria in the digestive tracts of dairy cows, may not be so harmless after all. They may be a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred to more harmful, disease-causing bacteria. view more (2006-05-25)
Ghrelin: A player in diabetes but not obesity?
Ghrelin, a hormone long considered a key player in obesity, may instead take a major role in maintaining the balance between insulin and glucose and the development of diabetes. view more (2006-05-10)
Vanadium appears to play role in speeding recovery from infections
Dietary supplements containing vanadium are used by body builders to help beef up muscles and by some diabetic people to control blood sugar. view more (2005-10-12)
Death rates same for diabetes and heart disease patients receiving drug therapy or surgery
There is no difference in mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes and stable heart disease who received prompt bypass surgery or angioplasty compared to drug therapy alone, according to a landmark study focused exclusively on patients with both conditions. view more (2009-06-08)
Discovery of new signal pathway important to diabetes research
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Miami University have discovered that cells in the pancreas cooperate - signal - in a way hitherto unknown. The discovery can eventually be of significance to the treatment of diabetes. view more (2008-06-05)
Misuse of antibiotics not the only cause of resistance says report
The perception that antibiotic resistance is primarily the undesirable consequence of antibiotic abuse or misuse is a view that is simplistic and inaccurate. view more (2009-10-16)
Smart Insulin Nanostructures Pass Feasibility Test, UT Study Reports
Biomedical engineers at The University of Texas School of Health Information Sciences at Houston have announced pre-clinical test results in the September issue of the International Journal of Nanomedicine demonstrating the feasibility of a smart particle insulin release system that detects spikes in glucose or blood sugar levels and releases... view more...

UT Southwestern physicians bust myths about insulin
People diagnosed with type 2 diabetes often resist taking insulin because they fear gaining weight, developing low blood sugar and seeing their quality of life decline. view more (2009-08-11)
Mild Undernutrition In Infancy Could Be Linked To Cardiovascular Health Benefits Later In Life (p1089)
Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that current recommendations for early infant nutrition may need to be reviewed-if future research confirms preliminary findings suggesting a link between lower nutrient intake and slower growth of babies born prematurely with better cardiovascular health later in life. The... view more... (2003-03-26)
