New Stem Cell Therapies to Treat Diabetes Proposed Posted: Thursday, March 20, 2008

Stem cell therapies have shown tremendous promise with numerous diseases (heart disease, Alzheimer's, etc...), but to date, diabetes has not been the most appropriate diseases for this form of treatment. Japanese researchers have recently tried to change this trend, making progressive proposals of how to utilize stem cells for diabetes.

Constant High Blood Sugar Disables Insulin 'Off' Switch Posted: Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Researchers say reversing that pattern offers hope of new diabetes treatments.

Impaired Fat-burning Gene Worsens Diabetes Posted: Thursday, February 14, 2008

Researchers have discovered new cellular mechanisms that lead to in insulin resistance in people with diabetes.

Stem Cells Finally Found in Pancreas Posted: Friday, February 01, 2008

An international team of researchers has finally managed to locate stem cells in the pancreas -- in mice, at least, and could pave the way for dramatic new therapies for diabetes, namely the regeneration of beta cells so the body could once again produce its own insulin.

New Insulin Sensitivity Index From The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Posted: Thursday, January 10, 2008

A new insulin sensitivity index was devised on the basis of an autoregressive model and its validity was investigated.

Fat Cells Improve Insulin Secretion Posted: Thursday, November 29, 2007

The body's fat cells help the pancreas do its job of secreting insulin. This previously unrecognized process ultimately could lead to new methods to improve glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetic or insulin-resistant people.

Fat Cells Play A Role in Insulin Secretion Posted: Friday, November 16, 2007

The body's fat cells help the pancreas do its job of secreting insulin, according to new research. This previously unrecognized process ultimately could lead to new methods to improve glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetic or insulin-resistant people.

Transplant Key to A Diabetes Cure, Just Days Away Posted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007

Melbourne scientists claim they are just days from conducting a pioneering therapy that will effectively cure Type-1 diabetes.

Is Alzheimer's A Form of Diabetes? Posted: Friday, October 26, 2007

Scientists report new evidence linking insulin to a disorder of the brain: when the brain prevents the hormone from acting properly, the ensuing chemical imbalance may help trigger Alzheimer's disease.

Cross-species Transplant A Step Toward Diabetes Cure For Humans Posted: Friday, October 26, 2007

With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys -- all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection.
