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)
Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease. view more (2005-08-19)
New data from NIH lab confirms protocol to reverse type 1 diabetes in mice
New data published in the Nov. 24 issue of Science provide further support for a protocol to reverse type 1 diabetes in mice and new evidence that adult precursor cells from the spleen can contribute to the regeneration of beta cells. view more (2006-11-27)
Critical link in cell death pathway revealed
The role of a protein called XIAP in the regulation of cell death has been identified by Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers and has led them to recommend caution when drugs called IAP inhibitors are used to treat cancer patients with underlying liver conditions. view more (2009-07-23)
New scientific knowledge on juvenile diabetes
Finnish scientists have reported a breakthrough in the attempts to understand the development of type 1 diabetes. They discovered disturbances in lipid and amino acid metabolism in children who later progressed to type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. view more (2008-12-18)
Autoimmune response can induce pancreatic tumor rejection
Immune responses are capable of killing tumors before they can be directed toward normal body tissue, according to new scientific findings published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2009-09-09)
Potential new target for cancer found
By bypassing a well-known gene implicated in almost one-third of all cancers and instead focusing on the protein activated by the gene, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have found a new target for anti-cancer drugs. view more (2007-07-16)
Research unveils new, reliable approach to drug delivery for cancer patients
Prostate, breast and other cancer patients may be offered a new, stauncher targeted drug delivery system to treat their diseases in the next decade. view more (2005-11-02)
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)
Japanese adults with diabetes have increased cancer risk
Japanese adults with diabetes may have a higher risk of cancer overall and in several specific organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidney. view more (2006-09-26)
New Role Discovered for Molecule Important in Development of Pancreas, Penn Study Finds
For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, to no avail. Now, they may be one step closer. A protein, whose role in pancreatic development has long been recognized, has been discovered to play an additional and previously unknown regulatory role in the development of... view more...

Frozen cells show real hope in bioartificial organ breakthrough
Patients with liver and pancreatic disorders could soon be treated and even cured, thanks to a new technique for freezing cells that will allow the widespread use of bioartificial organs, says Dr Helen Grant from the University of Strathclyde speaking at the BA Festival of Science in Glasgow today [3 September 2001]. Millions of patients in the UK... view more... (2001-08-30)
Reduced insulin in the brain triggers Alzheimer's degeneration
By depleting insulin and its related proteins in the brain, researchers at Rhode Island Hospital and Brown Medical School have replicated the progression of Alzheimer's disease - including plaque deposits, neurofibrillary tangles, impaired cognitive functioning, cell loss and overall brain deterioration - in an experimental animal model. view more (2006-03-23)
Decoding protein structures helps illuminate cause of diabetes
Any photographer can vouch for the difficulty of capturing a clear picture of a moving target.
When it comes to molecules, however, sometimes the motion is exactly what scientists want to see - for example, to understand the pathological protein mis-folding and assembly that seem to underlie a host of human disorders, including diabetes and... view more... (2007-05-17)
The miseries of allergies just may help prevent some cancers, study finds
There may be a silver -- and healthy -- lining to the miserable cloud of allergy symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, tearing and itching just may help prevent cancer -- particularly colon, skin, bladder, mouth, throat, uterus and cervix, lung and gastrointestinal tract cancer, according to a new Cornell study. view more (2008-11-12)
Surgical treatment a rare complication of duodenal diverticulum
Most of the duodenal diverticula are diagnosed incidentally and asymptomatic, 12% to 27 % at endoscopy. Only 5% to 10% of patients with duodenal diverticula suffer from clinical symptoms. view more (2009-08-26)
Improved DNA stool test could detect digestive cancers in multiple organs
Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated that a noninvasive screening test can detect not only colorectal cancer but also the common cancers above the colon -- including pancreas, stomach, biliary and esophageal cancers. view more (2009-06-02)
Early trigger for type-1 diabetes found in mice, Stanford scientists report
Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine are shedding light on how type-1 diabetes begins. view more (2008-08-27)
Potential diabetes treatment selectively kills autoimmune cells from human patients
In experiments using blood cells from human patients with diabetes and other autoimmune disorders, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have confirmed the mechanism behind a potential new therapy for type 1 diabetes. view more (2008-08-26)
The smoking gun: Elastin fragments drive emphysema
Pulmonary emphysema is caused primarily by cigarette smoking, and the underlying cellular mechanisms are thought to involve smoke-induced activation of tissue degrading enzymes known as proteases. view more (2006-02-10)
