New Ways Discovered to Stimulate Pancreatic Beta Cell Growth Posted: Sunday, September 18, 2011

Hoffmann-LaRoche and the JDRF have discovered not only a protein that regulates beta cell growth, but also a chemical compound that stimulates it.

Uterine Stem Cells Used To Treat Diabetes In Mice Posted: Wednesday, September 07, 2011

NIH-funded researchers convert cells from uterine lining into insulin-producing cells.

New Mechanism Identified That May Provide Potential Cure for Diabetes Posted: Sunday, May 08, 2011

Researchers from UCLA's Larry L. Hillblom Islet Research Center have discovered the underlying mechanism that could convert other cells in the body into insulin-making cells, which could provide a potential cure for diabetes.

Is Pioglitazone the Answer in Pre-diabetes? Posted: Tuesday, April 05, 2011

A pill taken once a day in the morning prevented Type 2 diabetes in more than 70 percent of individuals whose obesity, ethnicity and other markers put them at highest risk for the disease.

Researchers Uncover Potential Breakthrough Cure for Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Sunday, February 06, 2011

"We've all been brought up to think insulin is the all-powerful hormone without which life is impossible, but that isn't the case," says Dr. Roger Unger from UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Beta-Cells Stop Replicating after Age 30 Posted: Tuesday, November 09, 2010

A new study has revealed that beta cells-responsible for making insulin in the human body do not replicate after the age of 30.

Scientists Reveal New Clues to Origin of Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, October 27, 2010

Scientists have identified events inside insulin-producing pancreatic cells that set the stage for a neonatal form of non-autoimmune Type 1 diabetes, and may play a role in Type 2 diabetes as well.

Beta-Cell Failure Occurs Much Earlier and More Severely than Previously Thought Posted: Friday, October 22, 2010

A new published consensus statement finds that the increasing recognition that beta-cell failure occurs much earlier and severely than commonly believed suggests that regular glycemia screening, early identification of patients at metabolic risk and prompt and aggressive intervention deserves greater emphasis.

Significant Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough Posted: Tuesday, September 21, 2010

Amyloid could "directly poison" pancreas cells. Shedding light on how a malfunctioning protein helps trigger Type 2 diabetes could one day offer the chance to halt the damage, say scientists.

One Molecule Can Produce Insulin-Producing Cells to Treat Diabetes Posted: Monday, August 09, 2010

With a single stimulatory molecule, human insulin-producing beta cell replication can be sustained for at least four weeks.
