Joslin beta cell research leads the way
January 6, 2010Dodging Diabetes™ is thrilled Joslin Diabetes Center’s research continues to lead the way with groundbreaking discoveries like this one getting us one step closer to preventing and utlimately curing diabetes http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/175167.php
Joslin scientists led by Principal Investigator Robert Stanton, M.D., have discovered that high blood glucose levels damage a key enzyme that guards insulin-producing beta cells. Their surprising finding raises hopes of finding drugs that protect the enzyme, and thus the beta cells and their insulin production.
