Researchers Pursue Multiple Approaches To Type 1 Diabetes (Medical News Today)

Type 1 diabetes, formerly called insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes or childhood onset diabetes, affects 1 to 2 million people in the U.S. and millions more worldwide. In this country, it is second only to asthma as the most common chronic disease in children.

Childrenâ€™s Hospital Researchers Pursue Multiple Approaches to Preventing and Treating Type 1 Diabetes (PR Newswire via Yahoo! News)

Type 1 diabetes, formerly called insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes or childhood-onset diabetes, affects 1 to 2 million people in the U.S. and millions more worldwide. In this country, it is second only to asthma as the most common chronic disease in children. However, it may begin at any age, when for yet-unknown reasons, a persons immune system mistakenly attacks beta cells that ...

Researchers Pursue Multiple Approaches to Type 1 Diabetes (Newswise)

Type 1 diabetes, formerly called insulin-dependent diabetes, is a common chronic pediatric disease. Children's Hospital researchers are following multiple strategies to preventing and treating the illness. Researchers are discovering causative genes, seeking ways to manipulate beta cells to restore insulin production, and conducting a clinical trial of insulin pills that may prevent type 1 ...

The Jonas Brothers don't give deep answers, but they know how to make the girls scream. (The Kansas City Star)

I like to think I have my finger on the pulse of what 20- and 30-something hipster types are listening to. Not so much on the bubble-gum pop that mall rats favor. That stuff gives me hives. So my Jonas Brothers knowledge was admittedly superficial back in the fall.

Scientists Use Embryonic Stem Cells To Make Insulin-Secreting Cells In Mice (Medical News Today)

Scientists at a US biotechnology company implanted immature beta-cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) into mice and showed that they generated insulin-secreting cells that responded to raised blood sugar. They hope the discovery will one day lead to a renewable source of insulin-producing cells for the treatment of diabetes.

In brief (Baltimore Sun)

Researchers have found a correlation between drinking diet soda and metabolic syndrome and elevated blood pressure. The syndrome is the collection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes that include abdominal obesity, high cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
