Bigger Capsules the Key to Transplanting Islet Cells?
Something as simple as changing the size of the cell-carrying spheres may be the answer to the problem researchers have been having when it...
Scientists Discover Molecular Switch that Contributes to Cellular Aging Process
Scientists report finding a molecular switch that can turn off some cellular processes that are protective against aging and metabolic diseases. Findings may open doors for new drug treatments to halt or slow development of metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
Liver Protein Associated with Type 2 Diabetes in Older Adults
The presence of a protein expressed by the liver which inhibits insulin action may identify individuals more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
Type 2 Diabetes Drug Treatment Guidelines Updated by ACP
The American Academy of Family Physicians has endorsed new guidelines about which medications should be prescribed for the treatment of people living with type...
Diabetic Kidney Disease Rate Surprises Researchers

New Approach to Prevent Diabetes-Induced Birth Defects Studied
A research team has identified a cell signaling pathway which plays a significant role in causing developmental defects of the fetal spinal cord and brain in babies of women with diabetes.
Study: Inactive Kids Face 6-Fold Risk of Heart Disease by Teen Years
Young children who lead inactive lifestyles are five-to-six times more likely to be at serious risk of heart disease, with that degree of danger emerging as early as their teenage years.

Diabetics with Poorly Controlled Blood Sugar Have Longer, More Costly Hospital Stays
As more patients are being admitted into U.S. hospitals with diabetes as an underlying condition, studies show that diabetics with poorly controlled blood sugar...
Link Between Pkc Enzyme And Kidney Disease In Diabetes Confirmed
Scientists confirm the link between hyperglycemia (high blood glucose), overexpression of PKC-beta 2 and kidney disease.
Target Identified for New Diabetes Drug
New research points to the naturally produced protein apolipoprotein A-IV as a potential target for a new diabetes therapeutic.
Potential Drug Target Identified for Diabetes
Scientists have discovered a novel signaling pathway between three organs - the gut, the brain, and the liver - which lowers blood sugar when activated.
