#Identifying the'dimmer switch'of diabetes Patrick Macdonald has dedicated much of his life to diabetes research.
Macdonald, a Canada Research Chair in Islet Biology, associate professor in the University of Alberta's Faculty of medicine & Dentistry and member of the Alberta Diabetes Institute, is the senior author of a landmark study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
According to Macdonald, the dimmer appears to be lost in Type 2 diabetes but can be restored and'turned back on'--reviving proper control of insulin secretion from islet cells of people with Type 2 diabetes.
The discovery is a potential game-changer in Type 2 diabetes research, leading to a new way of thinking about the disease and its future treatment."
"Understanding the islet cells in the pancreas that make insulin, how they work --and how they can fail--could lead to new ways to treat the disease,
delaying or even preventing diabetes, "says Macdonald. Ten million Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes.
The Canadian Diabetes Association reports that more than 20 Canadians are diagnosed newly with the disease every hour of every day.
It is also the seventh leading cause of death in Canada, with associated health-care costs estimated at nearly $9 billion a year.
Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 per cent of all cases increasing the risk of blindness, nerve damage, stroke, heart disease and several other serious health conditions.
Macdonald believes the key to his latest research has been access to the Alberta Diabetes Institute's Isletcore.
The biobank, established with funding from the Alberta Diabetes Foundation and the U of A, collects pancreatic islets from organ donors--with and without diabetes--for diabetes research in Edmonton and across North america."
"Without access to this critical tissue through the Alberta Diabetes Institute Isletcore and the generosity of organ donors and their families, we would not have been able to carry out this study,
"says Macdonald.""If we want to learn about diabetes, and how to treat and prevent it,
studying the insulin-producing cells from donors with diabetes is a powerful way to do it."
"Though important new strides in the fight against Type 2 diabetes have been taken, Macdonald stresses that much more needs to be done.
The ability to restore and fix the dimmer switch in islet cells may have been proven on a molecular level,

Cytof is helping his team get more data about a limited repertoire of cells specific to type 1 diabetes

The goal is not only to develop immune therapy to treat type 1 diabetes but potentially to use the data for prevention. here are antigen-reactive T cells that are found in individuals at risk for type 1 diabetes,
said Herold. ome of those individuals go on to develop diabetes; others don. What we want to do is figure out who is going to go on to develop diabetes
in order to prevent it. If he identifies a marker that differentiates between patient types, for example, that finding could point to a target for preventive strategies, notes Herold.
The work of Montgomery, Hafler, and Herold may be just the tip of the iceberg. With this more powerful tool for analyzing cells,

Prof Rahimi said. iabetes affects more than 400 million people worldwide, including one million in Australia, and we know that diabetics are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks,

We still don know, he said. n particular researchers can now look at whether lowering blood pressure is an effective treatment
or reduces the risk of getting diabetes. hese are exciting results and I look forward to seeing further developments because of this research. t
These risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, unhealthy diets and smoking.

#Roche diagnostics & SAP Team to Fight Diabetes In 2014, diabetes took 4. 9 million lives worldwide.
That's one death every seven seconds. 52 million Europeans are living with diabetes, and in Germany alone, there are 6 to 8 million documented cases.
and with the severity of diabetes on the forefront of focus, Roche, in partnership with SAP, created new preventative care package.
Even pre-diabetics can benefit from this preventative care app. By using the app to detect the early signs of diabetes,
individuals can make the changes necessary to live a normal life. This Wednesday April 29th, Dr. Oliver Haferbeck, Head of Diabetes Care at Roche diagnostics will be part of a live panel on the Coffee break with Game Changers Radio.

#Personalized treatment for stress-related diabetes Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are testing a treatment for type 2 diabetes
Our results show that it is possible to block the effects of a common risk gene for type 2 diabetes says Anders Rosengren the diabetes researcher at Lund University in charge of the project.
and it is even more frequent among patients with type 2 diabetes--out of 400 000 people in Sweden who have type 2 diabetes 40 per cent of patients are carriers.
With a known disease mechanism and a method to neutralise it the obvious next step was to test it on patients. 50 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited. 21 of them did not have the risk variant
The substance must also be tested on more patients before it can become a clinical drug says Anders Rosengren adding purely theoretically the drug should be effective for the 40 per cent of type 2 diabetes sufferers who are carriers of the genetic risk variant.
These mutations cause more than 200 diseases and contribute to others such as diabetes cancer Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

#Giant leap for diabetes: From human embryonic stem cells to billions of human insulin producing cells Harvard stem cell researchers announced that they have made a giant leap forward in the quest to find a truly effective treatment for type 1 diabetes,
a condition that affects an estimated three million Americans at a cost of about $15 billion annually:
when his then infant son Sam was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, dedicated his career to finding a cure for the disease,
whose daughter Emma also has type 1 diabetes. A report on the new work has been published by the journal Cell.

and Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and its Director of the Islet and Pancreas Transplant Program and the Chief of the Division of Transplantation, said work described in today's Cell"will leave a dent in the history of diabetes.
Doug Melton has put in a life-time of hard work in finding a way of generating human islet cells in vitro He made it.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune metabolic condition in which the body kills off all the pancreatic beta cells that produce the insulin needed for glucose regulation in the body.
Cell transplantation as a treatment for diabetes is still essentially experimental, uses cells from cadavers, requires the use of powerful immunosuppressive drugs,
MIT's Anderson said the new work by Melton's lab is"an incredibly important advance for diabetes.
In particular, this advance opens to doors to an essentially limitless supply of tissue for diabetic patients awaiting cell therapy."
This significant accomplishment has the potential to serve as a cell source for islet replacement in people with type 1 diabetes
"While diabetics can keep their glucose metabolism under general control by injecting insulin multiple times a day,
About 10 percent of the more than 26 million Americans living with type 2 diabetes are also dependent upon insulin injections,
