EU-funded scientists have discovered that stem cells from one of the immune system's main organs can be reprogrammed to form hair follicle stem cells. The key lies in altering the environment in which the cells are grown. These results demonstrate that it is possible to alter stem cells without genetic manipulation. Details of the study are published in Nature. Ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm are

Posted by alex 114 days ago (http://www.diabetespubmed.com)
More than half a century after researchers identified a promising way to treat diabetes based on blocking the breakdown of insulin in the body, a research team led by a scientist at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have developed potent molecules that can do just that.
Women with type 2 diabetes who ate the most bran in a study had a 35 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a 28 percent reduction in death from all causes than women who ate the least amount, researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Despite Concern, Americans Aren't Protecting Themselves Against Diabetes
Posted by alex 126 days ago (http://www.diabetespubmed.com)
Diabetes affects more than 23 million people in the United States today and another 54 million people have pre-diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, while nearly 60 percent of Americans are concerned about developing diabetes, many aren't taking the necessary steps to protect their health, according to a recent study by the International Diabetes Ce
A "human guinea pig" scientist to have all his DNA screened

The results revealed heightened risks of heart disease, cardiac arrest, diabetes and prostate cancer, as well as information about likely responses to certain medicines. Similar assessments could be offered to the general public within the next decade as the cost of genetic mapping plummets, say researchers. Professor Stephen Quake, the American scientist who subjected himself to the test after b

Once-daily insulin detemir could be considered an effective therapy for people with type 2 diabetes on lifestyle interventions and oral anti-diabetic agent therapy who require insulin.
There is no evidence from prospective comparative trials or from observational cohort studies that metformin is associated with an increased risk of lactic acidosis, or with increased levels of lactate, compared to other anti-hyperglycemic treatments.
Eat less for a longer, healthier life, new research suggests
Posted by alex 137 days ago (http://www.diabetespubmed.com)
A UK-US research team has discovered that restricting calorie content can lengthen life. The results of the study, published in the journal Science, show that eating fewer calories can lead not only to a longer life, but a healthier one too, avoiding much of the disease that often plagues people in their later years.
The results of this study demonstrate that 8-week consumption of honey can provide beneficial effects on body weight and blood lipids of diabetic patients.
Why inflammation in body fat isn't always a bad thing
Posted by alex 141 days ago (http://www.diabetespubmed.com)
Inflammation in body fat may not always be harmful, according to new EU-funded research which contrasts with earlier ideas that link inflammation in body fat to insulin resistance, and ultimately to type 2 diabetes. The findings may eventually lead to new treatments for type 2 diabetes.
