Colonic inflammation caused by obesity activates the hepatic ERK pathway, which increases β-cell proliferation and insulin production, revealing a new role of the gastrointestinal tract in controlling glucose homeostasis. ...

New research shows that genetic factors linked to lower insulin production and unhealthy fat distribution are major causes of early-onset type 2 diabetes in South Asians, contributing to health complications, earlier insulin treatment, and reduced me

A patient with type 1 diabetes has become the first in the world to produce his own insulin via transplanted cells edited with CRISPR. The edits halted his own immune system from attacking the cells, leading to production of insulin in the pancreas as if he never had the disease in the first place. Unlike […] The post Type 1 Diabetic Produces His Own Insulin After Gene-Edited Cell Transplant appeared first on Good News Network.
