…a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers reports the genetic reprogramming of human skin cells to create cells indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells.
This is a huge advancement towards the treatment and cure for diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson’s. This would help put the ethical stem cell debate to rest and aid in the […]
With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys — all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection.
Wow! Pretty darn cool. Within three weeks the transplanted “primordia” […]
Now scientists at Northwestern University have discovered why brain insulin signaling — crucial for memory formation — would stop working in Alzheimer’s disease. They have shown that a toxic protein found in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s removes insulin receptors from nerve cells, rendering those neurons insulin resistant. (The protein, known to attack memory-forming […]
I know that I have written about something similar to this in the past, but here is new research that offers a non invasive way to analyze blood sugars amongst type 1 diabetics.
By using a chemical analysis method developed for air-pollution testing, UC Irvine chemists and pediatricians have found that children with type-1 diabetes exhale […]
Researchers out of University of Ottawa have discovered a mutation in a gene that is considered to be a major controller in the way that energy levels are used in our bodies. This is a big discovery for endurance athletes as well as diabetics.
What gene is being examined and how does this pertain specifically to […]
Once again, I am going to say, “don’t shoot the messenger”. Before anyone gets all in a tizzy, take the time to really read through what the research is claiming in its entirety. Yes, they are suggesting that certain breakfast breads are effective in controlling blood sugars through the dinner hour, but they are […]
Scientists have revisited the fact that certain neurons in the brain are activated by glucose. And this time they have identified that defects in the brain’s ability to respond to glucose can play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes. How is this research of clinical use you ask…
“By identifying glucose-sensing […]
Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found that a triple combination therapy consisting of both tolerance-inducing and anti-inflammatory properties is successful in abolishing adverse autoimmunity against insulin-producing cells in a mouse model of Type 1 diabetes.
We all know that type 1 diabetes develops when the body’s immune cells attack and destroy its […]
In the last few years we have had all kinds of supplements suggested for the aid in the fight against type 2 diabetes, but guess what? Selenium shouldn’t be counted as one of them anymore. Selenium was thought to help in the prevention of diabetes, but new research has shown that it actually […]
So it is official, whole grain’s are important in keeping diabetes at bay. It seems that all we here lately is low carbohydrate, no white foods and don’t eat bread in order to control your blood sugar. But did you ever stop and think that your ever so tasty whole grain pasta’s and […]
