Researchers from Italy have found a statistically significant association between enteroviral infection and diagnosis of type-1 diabetes in children. They reported their findings at the 110th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in San Diego, California.

Underlying all forms of diabetes is dysfunction of cells in the pancreas known as beta cells. The dysfunction is, in part, a result of inflammation mediated by soluble immune molecules known as cytokines. Greater understanding is needed of the molecular mechanisms by which beta cells respond to cytokines if protective therapeutics are to be developed. Insight into this issue has now been ...

Two human proteins that evolutionary processes have conserved from ancient single-celled organisms appear to provide new targets of opportunity for scientists hoping to thwart the development of diabetes. In experiments using diabetes-prone mice, blocking the actions of the proteins significantly reduced the development of diabetes in the mice. The findings were reported by a multi-institutional ...
