HEIDELBERG, Germany, May 24 (UPI) -- German, Swedish and U.S. researchers said they found a lower rate of prostate cancer among people with diabetes.

Researchers studied the blood of over 100 children recently diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and found over 80 percent had recently been infected with an enterovirus, a type of virus that causes flu-like symptoms or a rash.

The dysfunction is, in part, a result of inflammation mediated by soluble immune molecules known as cytokines. New research now provides greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which beta cells respond to cytokines and could aid in the development of protective therapeutics.
