The clues provided by the genetic mutation, plus the cancer treatment and diabetes link, could help to unlock new ways of tackling the onset of type 1 diabetes – if researchers can figure out ...

The cause of type 1 diabetes remains unknown and is a central focus of Boston College Assistant Professor of Biology Emrah Altindis and others in his field hoping to find new ways to help 1.6 million ...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 10% of Americans suffer from diabetes. Type 2 diabetes makes up 90% to 95% of these cases, while type 1 diabetes is much ...

Of the two well-known rodent models of human type 1 diabetes (the non-obese diabetic mouse and the BioBreeding rat) the mouse has become the model of choice. Here the authors re-examine the value ...

Sequence variation is particularly relevant to infectious pathogens that mutate in response to antimicrobial therapy. Sequence variations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 reverse ...

Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...
