Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg in Sweden have discovered a type of protein that may be linked to the development of diabetes. This discovery may help introduce innovative ways in treating the diabetes and other metabolic diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. The researchers have identified the protein called Serine/threonine protein kinase 25 or STK25, which contribute

Sleep has long been known to have an effect in different parts of the body. It is the natural way that the body recharges or takes a rest. While it plays an important role in human health, researchers have not yet fully understood the effects that sleep deprivation may have on the molecular level. While lack of sleep may prove to be detrimental, many researchers do not really have a good idea just what processes go

Researchers have recently found that a type of protein that regulates the biological clock in mammals also regulates the glucose production in the liver. By altering the levels of this protein, scientists can improve the health in diabetic mice. The report is published on the advanced online publication of the journal Nature Medicine. Biologists from the University of California San Diego may have discovered a new
