In a new study that could transform embryonic stem cell (ES cell) research, scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered why mouse ES cells can be easily grown in a laboratory while other mammalian ES cells are difficult, if not impossible, to maintain.If the findings in mice can be applied to other animals, scientists could have an entirely new palette of research tools to work ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, to no avail. Now, they may be one step closer. A protein, whose role in pancreatic development has long been recognized, has been discovered to play an additional and previously unknown regulatory role in the development of cells in the immature endocrine ...

By carefully defining the developmental steps and genetic circuits that lead to mature beta cells, researchers may be able to one day mimic these developmental processes, thereby facilitating beta-cell growth in the lab, and eventually, new therapies.
Monash University researchers have found how obesity leads to type 2 diabetes – a finding that could lead to the design of a drug to prevent the disease.
A car tracking device activated last week has yielded no clues to the whereabouts of an ex-Marine who mysteriously disappeared in May, police said today.
Shanghai ChemPartner Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of ShangPharma Corporation, today announces that it has expanded its integrated drug discovery research collaboration with Agios, the first biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of novel therapeutics in the emerging field of cancer metabolism.
A new study has shown a critical link between obesity and the onset of Type 2 diabetes, a discovery which could lead to the design of a drug to prevent the disease.
US researchers found that feeding middle-aged mice the antibiotic rapamycin, an anti-fungal agent originally discovered in the soil of Easter Island, helped them live between 9 and 14 per cent longer than equivalent mice not fed the drug, which among other things is currently used to suppress immune systems in transplant patients.
