Pig Transplant Boosts Diabetes Hopes

Posted on 04/16/2012 by Health-e-Solutions

A pig’s pancreatic islets were transplanted into a diabetic monkey which was then administered a newly developed immune-regulating antibody. As a result, the monkey’s blood-sugar level was controlled without any rejection Continue reading →

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Converts Intestinal Epithelial Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells

Posted on 03/07/2012 by Health-e-Solutions

No functional role for GLP-1-(1–37) had previously been identified. This study clearly establish a function for this pancreas-derived hormone. It converts intestinal epithelial progenitors in the small intestine into insulin-producing cells Continue reading →
