Protein levels may predict that a child will develop diabetes
Decreasing blood levels of a protein that helps control inflammation may be a red flag that could help children avoid type 1 diabetes, researchers say.

Pancreatic cancers progress to lethal stage slowly
Pancreatic cancer develops and spreads much more slowly than scientists have thought, according to new research from Johns Hopkins investigators.

Implanted glucose sensor works for more than 1 year
Bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego and GlySens Incorporated have developed an implantable glucose sensor and wireless telemetry system that continuously monitors tissue glucose and transmits the information to an external receiver.

New pathway to cheap insulin
More than eight million diabetics live in Germany. Diabetes is not restricted to our prosperous society and the highest growth rates often occur in countries with aspiring economies such as in Asia.

Artificial pancreas successfully controls blood sugar more than 24 hours
An artificial pancreas system that closely mimics the body's blood sugar control mechanism was able to maintain near-normal glucose levels without causing hypoglycemia in a small group of patients.

Diabetes spending will be triple in US
In the next 25 years, spending on diabetes will almost triple, rising from $113 billion to $336 billion, even with no increase in the prevalence of obesity.

New drug reverses resistance to chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients
For the first time researchers have shown that by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called TAK-1, it is possible to make pancreatic cancer cells sensitive to chemotherapy, opening the way for the development of a new drug to treat the disease.

Eurand's Zenpep pancreatic enzyme product approved by FDA
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Eurand's New Drug Application (NDA) for ZENPEP(TM) (pancrelipase) Delayed-Release Capsules for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) or other conditions.

Gene Deaf1 may play a role in type 1 diabetes
Stanford University's researchers have identified a gene that may play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's insulin-producing cells.

Pancreatic cancer risk reduced by diabetes drug metformin
The antidiabetic medication metformin is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer in diabetics, revealed by researchers. However, other commonly used therapies, such as insulin or insulin secretagogues, may be associated with increased risk.

Link between obesity and diabetes discovered
A critical link between obesity and the onset of Type 2 diabetes is established by a Monash University study in Australia. The new findings could lead to the design of a drug to prevent the disease.

Potential preventative therapy for Type 1 diabetes
Scientists believe they may have found a preventative therapy for Type 1 diabetes, by making the body's killer immune cells tolerate the insulin-producing cells they would normally attack and destroy, prior to disease onset.

Charred meat may increase pancreatic cancer risk
Meat cooked at high temperatures to the point of burning and charring may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009.

Nigella sativa herbal extract may cure pancreatic cancer
Nigella sativa - an herb recently found to kill pancreatic cancer cells also appears to inhibit development of pancreatic cancer as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties, according to researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson.

Enteroviral infection of pancreas causes type 1 diabetes
A common family of viruses (enteroviruses) may play an important role in triggering the development of diabetes, particularly in children, revealed by researchers.

Early detection methods for pancreatic cancer urgently needed
The following is a statement in response to the breaking news about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer from Julie Fleshman, President and CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the only national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure.

Lilly donated Insulin to International Diabetes Federation's Life for a Child Program
Eli Lilly and Company announced it intends to donate more than 800,000 vials of insulin to the International Diabetes Federation's Life for a Child Program, providing free life-saving medicine to as many as 24,000 children who currently have no access to diabetes treatment.

Type 1 diabetes rising in Australian children
The incidence of new cases of Type 1 diabetes in children is rising at around 3% a year, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).

Frog secretions offer diabetes treatment hope
Secretions from the skin of a South American frog Pseudis paradoxa could provide a new treatment for diabetes, says a University of Ulster scientist. Researchers found that it stimulates the release of insulin, the vital hormone which is deficient in diabetes sufferers.

Pancreatic stem cells may cure diabetes
Just as many scientists had given up the search, researchers have discovered that the pancreas does indeed harbor stem cells with the capacity to generate new insulin-producing beta cells. If the finding made in adult mice holds for humans, the newfound progenitor cells will represent "an obvious target for therapeutic regeneration of beta cells in diabetes," the researchers report in the Jan. 25 issue of Cell, a publication of Cell Press.

Protein may trigger insulin production in diabetic patients
If the human body were a stage, then proteins would rank among the lead actors in the play we call "Life." These large biological molecules hold many starring roles, and their lines are dictated by information encoded in our genes. They are production powerhouses, regulating the basic processes of living and controlling countless functions. Many are enzymes that produce or use energy. Others regulate genes.
