New insulin molecule can self-regulate blood sugar in rats
Researchers have developed a novel insulin molecule that responds to glucose levels in the blood sugar of rats, which they say could help patients with type 1 diabetes.
news
A novel CAR T-cell therapy for type 1 diabetes
Researchers show how genetically engineered five-module chimeric antigen receptor (5MCAR) T cells can be directed to destroy T cells causing autoimmune diseases.

Oncology meets immunology – antibody-mediated regulation of the immune response
In this article, Aparajita Dubey discusses the role of antibodies in regulating the immune system and highlights key features that need to be considered for drug development and how this can be applied to cancer therapy.
news
Researchers halt type 1 diabetes onset by denervating the pancreas
Scientists denervated the pancreas using surgery or pharmacological agents to protect it from immune-mediated beta cell destruction, preventing the onset of type 1 diabetes.
news
SRI-37330 revealed as drug candidate for treatment of diabetes
A study has shown that SRI-37330 is successful at improving the characteristics of diabetes in human pancreatic islets and animal models.
news
Experimental formulation could be future for fast-acting insulin
The novel formulation hit peak activity at nine minutes, less than half the time taken for a commercially available formulation.
news
Link identified between COVID-19 and onset of diabetes
New research indicates COVID-19 could trigger the development of diabetes in healthy people, prompting experts to establish a registry for COVID-19 and diabetes data.
news
Genetic deletion permanently prevented type 1 diabetes development in mice
Researchers observed that deleting the IRE1-alpha gene caused beta cells to de-differentiate and then re-differentiate in mice, preventing immune system auto-activation.
