- Immunosuppressive drugs are a double-edged sword to type 1 diabetics
09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Type 1 diabetes occurs when immune cells destroy pancreatic insulin producing beta-cells. It was hoped that islet transplantation would provide a cure for the disease, however, transplant success is short-lived and accompanied by significant side effects. New data indicate that the immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent islet transplant rejection suppress beta-cell regeneration in diabetic mice, raising the possibility that identifying immunosuppressive drugs that do not inhibit beta-cell regeneration might lead to successful regenerative islet transplantation.

- Diabetes professionals join forces to identify gaps in diabetes care and better self care

Participants at the meeting identified barriers to, and strategies for, better patient self care among diabetes patients. Given the significant health care costs due to complications from diabetes and that two-thirds of these costs are for preventable conditions, better self-care management is essential.

- Discovery of good -- and bad -- liver stem cells raises possibility of new treatment

Now, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center report discovering both types of stem cells, and by comparing their genetic "signatures," they found evidence to suggest that a new type of experimental drug might offer benefit in treating liver cancer.
