Teflon-coated Cells Could Help Treat Type 1 Diabetes Scientists have invented a tiny implant covered in Teflon coating that contains transplanted insulin-producing cells. Teflon, the chemical used to coat non-stick pans, has been used in medicine for more than 30 years, as it is compatible with human tissue and does not cause the immune system to attack itself when implanted in the body. Medical News TodayBiotransformed Blueberry Juice Fights Fat And Diabetes Juice extracted from North American lowbush blueberries, biotransformed with bacteria from the skin of the fruit, holds great promise as an anti-obesity and anti-diabetic agent. The study was conducted by researchers who tested the effects of biotransformed juices compared to regular blueberry drinks on mice. Science DailyLink Between Dynamic Changes In DNA And Human Diabetes A study in the September issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, may give new meaning to the adage, 'You are what you eat.' The DNA isolated from the muscles of people with diabetes bears chemical marks not found in those who respond normally to rising blood sugar levels, according to the report. The epigenetic marks in question are specifically found on a gene that controls the amount of fuel, in the form of glucose or lipids, that cells burn. Medical News TodayFrom Fat To Chronic Inflammation Researchers may have found a key ingredient in the recipe that leads from obesity to chronic low-grade inflammation, according to a report in the September issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication. Chronic inflammation within fat tissue is now recognized as a contributor to the many ill health consequences that come with obesity, from diabetes to cardiovascular disease, explains Yuichi Oike of Kumamoto University in Japan. New York TimesNew Ways To Combat Diabetes And Obesity Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, is increasing at an alarming state with more than 180 million people affected worldwide. With the rising incidence of obesity, a major risk factor for the onset of type 2 diabetes, this metabolic disorder represents a major health concern. A group from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, now shows that there may exist new ways to fight these disorders. New York TimesGene Abuse - The Self-Inflicted Path to Type II Diabetes New diabetes-related gene research on humans has shown for the first time that the over-consumption of calories resulting in being overweight induces changes in gene expression in your muscles that result in a decreased genetic ability to burn calories. Unfortunately, this is incredibly bad news. And on the other hand, it can be viewed as self-empowering. While it takes tens of thousands of years for true genetic adaptation to take place, it is also clear that genes are very pliable over the shorter duration. Any person should strive to maintain optimal health so as not to manifest genetic weak spots. The field of epigenetics deals with the changes in gene expression based on environmental influences. In the case of obesity and type II diabetes, we already have data that the health of grandma (which influences egg-related gene programming in all the eggs of her daughters) and the mother’s nutritional status during pregnancy (now called fetal progr Wellness ResourcePotential New Therapy For Severe Kidney Disease Following Development of New Mouse Model X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (XNDI) is a severe congenital kidney disease caused by mutations in the V2R gene. Currently, there is no effective drug to specifically treat XNDI, mainly because there are no good animal models of the disease. Medical News TodayUniversity Of Southern California Study Shows Persistence Of Metabolic Syndrome May Predict Type 2 Diabetes In Obese Hispanic Teenagers A study by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) found that obese Hispanic teenagers with persistent metabolic syndrome had progressively increasing risk of developing type 2 diabetes over time. Medical News TodayA Stem Cell Discovery Could Help Diabetics Harvard stem cell scientists have created the first insulin-producing cells from skin cells of type 1 diabetes patients -- and gained a deeper understanding of the disease TIMEDNA mutations linked to diabetes (Karolinska Institutet) Genes that regulate the energy consumption of cells have a different structure and expression in type 2 diabetics than they do in healthy people, according to a new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet published in Cell Metabolism. The researchers believe that these 'epigenetic mutations' might have a key part to play in the development of the disease. Eurekalert.org1 2 |
