New research being presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy (12-15 May), and published in the International Journal of Obesity, could help explain why type 2 diabetes is ...

Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...

Researchers identify genetic markers that predict the rate of β-cell failure in type 1 diabetes, facilitating earlier, personalized care strategies Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system destroys insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Yet, not all patients lose insulin function at the same pace. Understanding ...

Adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessels, leading to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by a team at the Max Planck Institute ...

Hormones are chemical messages that send signals throughout the body. They work slowly and affect body growth, development, metabolism, sexual function, mood, and other functions. Many medications are ...

Prof. Heiko Lickert is the director of the Institute of Diabetes and Regeneration Research at Helmholtz Munich, professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and member of the German Center ...

Three years ago, the inceptor protein was discovered and its role as an inhibitor of the insulin signaling pathway was described. Inceptor and the insulin receptor are located on the surface of beta ...

When the body refuses to make insulin, the condition is called type 1 diabetes; when the body mismanages the hormone, it’s known as type 2. Now, scientists report new evidence linking insulin to a ...
