How a specific gene within the pancreas affects secretion of insulin has been discovered by researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

New Key to Understanding Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, October 14, 2009

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators have discovered how destructive immune cells gain access to insulin-producing cells and help cause diabetes. The finding points to possible new strategies to halt or prevent Type 1 diabetes.

Update on Dr. Faustman's Research on Reversing Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, September 23, 2009

The Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, run by Denise L. Faustman, MD, PhD, is moving rapidly through the clinical trial challenge to test and possibly establish a vaccine using a generic drug, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) to reverse Type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes Vaccine Diamyd® Shows Reduction or Halting Destruction of Beta-Cells 4 Years Later Posted: Wednesday, September 09, 2009

Diamyd Medical announced last week that the company's 4-year follow-up of Type 1 diabetes patients included in the company's Phase II study shows a clear positive trend.

New Molecule Combats Diabetes and Obesity by Increasing GLP-1 Posted: Wednesday, September 09, 2009

We now have drugs that can replace the GLP-1 hormone and we have drugs that can reduce the destruction of GLP-1. Now we may have a drug that increases the production of GLP-1.

New Target for Preventing Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, September 09, 2009

The study of the role of an enzyme called 12-Lipoxygenase (12-LO), may find the answer to preventing the destruction of the beta-cells and could be a vital step in preventing Type 1 diabetes.
