Adult Somatic Cells Converted To Pluripotent Stem Cells Using A Single Virus
A Boston University School of Medicine-led research team has discovered a more efficient way to create induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells, derived from mouse fibroblasts, by using a single virus vector instead of multiple viruses in the reprogramming process.

Get Fit For Free, UK
If you are one of the many who've resolved to get fitter this year, then this is the one resolution you should try to keep. Only 40% of men and 28% of women take the recommended amount of exercise and according to the British Medical Journal, regular exercise reduces the risk of conditions such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes by 20 to 30 per cent.

Protective Gene Variant Becomes Bad Actor On A High-Fat Diet
New evidence in mice bolsters the notion that a version of a gene earlier shown to protect lean people against weight gain and insulin resistance can have the opposite effect in those who eat a high-fat diet and are heavier, reveals a report in the January 7th issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication.

Using Chronic Care Model Helps To Improve People's Health And Care
Ed Wagner, MD, MPH, knew there had to be a better way. He and Group Health colleagues set out 15 years ago to explore how best to engage patients with chronic diseases in effective care. With Robert Wood Johnson Foundation support, they developed the Chronic Care Model. More than 1,500 U.S. and international medical practices have adopted the Model. Now the largest roundup of evidence on how the Model performs in practice confirms that it works.

Mental Functioning Slowed By Adult-Onset Diabetes With Deficits Appearing Early
Adults with diabetes experience a slowdown in several types of mental processing, which appears early in the disease and persists into old age, according to new research. Given the sharp rise in new cases of diabetes, this finding means that more adults may soon be living with mild but lasting deficits in their thought processes. A full analysis appears in the January issue of Neuropsychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association.

Inflammatory Factors And Diabetic Macular Edema Highlighted In Ophthalmology Jan. 2009
With a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicting that diabetic retinopathy will triple from 5.5 million in 2005 to 16 million in 2050, improved treatments are urgently needed for this leading cause of blindness in working-age people. The CDC study is the latest indicator of a world-wide diabetes epidemic that is motivating ophthalmic research around the globe.

One Person Diagnosed With Diabetes Every Three Minutes In The UK
One person is diagnosed with diabetes every three minutes* in the UK, according to new figures from Diabetes UK. The leading health charity, which has released the shocking statistic to mark its 75th Anniversary, says the number of people diagnosed with the condition is growing faster than ever. This is particularly worrying for Black and minority ethnic groups as Type 2 diabetes is up to three times more common in Black people and up to six times more common in South Asian people.

Cytomegalovirus: Cell Death May Bring New Life To Treatment Of Retinal Disease
Just days after the first retinal cell gets infected with the common cytomegalovirus, contiguous cells start committing suicide and researchers believe their death may provide clues to better treatment of this potentially blinding infection. Understanding the cell death may also provide new insight into the larger issue of how the retina responds to assault, whether by infection or a disease process such as diabetes, said Dr.

Expanding Festive Waistlines Put Thousands At Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes
Over-indulgence in too many calorific treats such as mince pies (around 200 calories each), Christmas cake (approximately 250 calories per slice) and mulled wine (about 250 calories in a glass) can leave us all struggling to buckle our belts in the New Year. Having a large waist means you are up to eleven times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes and being overweight or obese is one of the strongest risk factors for developing Type 2 diabetes.

Blood Sugar Linked To Decline Of Memory And Cognitive Health In Older People
US researchers examining how diseases in late life, such as stroke and diabetes, contribute to cognitive decline through their effect on the hippocampal region of the brain found that high blood sugar may contribute to the decline of memory and cognitive health in older people. They suggested exercising to improve blood sugar levels was a way some people might be able to delay the normal decline in memory and cognitive health that occurs in old age.

New Gene Found To Be Associated With Widely-used Marker Of Blood Glucose Concentration
Scientists have found that genetic variation at the hexokinase-1 gene is linked to variation in the blood concentration of glycated hemoglobin, an index of long-term blood glucose concentration widely used in the follow-up of diabetes patients. The study, conducted by researchers from the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, USA, is published December 19 in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics.

Study Boosts Researchers' Hopes Of Using Osteocalcin To Treat Diabetes
Rube Goldberg-the cartoonist who devised complex machines for simple tasks-would have smiled at one of leptin's mechanisms for curbing insulin release. As Hinoi et al. show, the fat-derived hormone enlists the sympathetic nervous system to prevent bone-making cells from releasing a molecule that prods the pancreas to discharge insulin. The study appeared online December 22, 2008 (http://www.jcb.

Reduction In Antibody Gene Rearrangement In B Cells Related To Type 1 Diabetes, Lupus
More drafts usually mean a better product and so it also seems to go with the human immune system. As B cells develop, genes rearrange to allow antibodies to recognize different foreign invaders or pathogens. But sometimes antibodies are created that recognize and attack the body's own cells. These self-reactive antibodies, like early drafts of a manuscript, must be edited into versions that won't attack self.

Treating Gum Disease Linked To Lower Medical Costs For Patients With Diabetes
A new report suggests that treating gum disease in patients who have diabetes with procedures such as cleanings and periodontal scaling is linked to 10 to 12 percent lower medical costs per month. The findings are encouraging but the study was not designed to firmly establish cause and effect, said George Taylor, University of Michigan associate professor of dentistry, who also has an appointment in epidemiology in the U-M School of Public Health.
