Researchers from Saint Louis University Medical Center have discovered a way to prevent type 1 diabetes from a mice model of the disease. The new approach developed by the scientists stops the destruction of beta cells and preserves the production of insulin. Findings of the said study were published in the journal Endocrinology. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by destruction of the pancreatic be

A team of researchers have discovered a new protein that might become a potential treatment target for type 1 diabetes. It may also change the current perspective of what causes the said disease. The finding is published in the current issue of Pancreas. Researchers from the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have discovered a protein that is being seen to have a critical rol

People suffering from diabetes do not have enough insulin in their body essential for regulating their blood sugar levels. A primary cause of this is that diabetics do not have enough pancreatic beta cells to produce enough insulin in their body. This lack of insulin making cells may someday be addressed as researchers have discovered a mechanism in the body that may convert other cell types into pancreatic beta ce
