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.

Adaptive Response Pathways Possible Keys to Effective Diabetes Treatment Posted: Wednesday, September 02, 2009

University of California, San Francisco researchers have identified the two key circuits that control a cell's ability to adapt to changes in its environment, a finding that could have applications ranging from diabetes and autoimmune responses.

Why Diabetics Are at Greater Risk of Cancer Posted: Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah have uncovered new information on the notion that sugar "feeds" tumors. The findings also have implications for other diseases such as diabetes.

Scientists Alter Pancreatic Cells to Treat Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, August 12, 2009

By activating one gene, researchers can reprogram cells to produce insulin, according to a study in the journal Cell.

Scientific Peer Review of Research Applications for the Department of Defense - Andrew P. Mandell Posted: Thursday, August 06, 2009

Diabetes advocate, Andrew P. Mandell, MR. DIABETES® and Executive Director of Defeat Diabetes Foundation, Inc., recently participated in the evaluation of research proposals submitted to the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) sponsored by the Department of Defense.

Protein the "Perfect Storm" for Diabetes and Possible Cure Posted: Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Researchers have found that the damaging substance begins showing up well before diabetes begins and rises along with blood sugar as the disease progresses. This may be a new target to provide a possible cure for Type 2 diabetes.

Discovery of Genetic Switch Finds a Possible Cure for Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Scientists have identified a master regulator gene for early embryonic development of the pancreas and other organs, putting researchers closer to coaxing stem cells into pancreatic cells as a possible cure for Type 1 diabetes.

A Step Closer to Regenerating Beta Cells Posted: Wednesday, July 22, 2009

US scientists have come a step closer to finding a way to help treat people with diabetes by reactivating their own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. They discovered a hitherto unknown role for a well known protein: it helps immature endocrine systems generate new pancreatic islet cells, which include the insulin-producing beta cells.
