To some extent, these researchers found real treasure. Geneticist Nancy Wexler, for example, spent years in Venezuela compiling family trees of those affected by Huntington’s disease, a rare, inherited condition. Her work led to the discovery of the mutation in a single gene that predicts wheth...

“This is a new way to treat diabetes,” said CEO Dr. Nikolai Kunicher. “Today, you only have ways to manage the disease. This is a cure. The diabetic pancreas has lost the function of secreting insulin and we give it back. The patient should never have to inject insulin into hi...
The term “new-onset diabetes after transplantation” has replaced the older “post-transplant diabetes mellitus” (PTDM) to differentiate new-onset diabetes from diabetes that was present prior to transplantation. The potentially asymptomatic and transient nature of the disease in a context of ...
An international team of scientists led by a Cedars-Sinai researcher has identified a new genetic mutation that appears to protect people from developing Type 2 diabetes.
2 Sources of new β-cells for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells. A cure for the disease may lie in the development of techniques to replenish islet mass. Some researchers have already directed the differentiation of...
Potential of transplantation of pancreatic islet cells as a cure for diabetes; Issues that need to be resolved before the clinical applicability of the approach can be considered. 关键词: calcium influx population kinetics calcium transient dual channel fluorimetry DOI: 10.1038/73079 被引量: 31 ...
"Frederick Banting noted already in his Nobel Prize lecture for the discovery of the life-saving drug insulin a hundred years ago that "Insulin is not a cure for diabetes, but a treatment of the symptoms." This has not changed in the last century. Our goal for future research is to leve...
(H1N1) viruses by applying selective drug pressure over multiple sequential passages in MDCK cells. We found that T-705 treatment did not select specific mutations in potential target proteins, including PB1, PB2, PA, and NP. Phenotypic assays based on cell viability confirmed that no T-705-...
Not all think laughter is the best medicine but it seems to help.So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it. Researchers divide 20 high-r
