ProtoKinetix’ AAGP™ Shows Promise As A Tool In Diabetes Treatment / Cure

January 14th, 2010 admin

Independent studies done by universities and corporations have illustrated a remarkable increase in the yield of viable stem cells after cryopreservation using AAGP™ in the freeze-thaw process. One future approach to increasing diabetics’ insulin production is related to an ability to convert their stem cells into islet cells for transplantation…

Study Shows Direct Link Between Circadian Clock In Pancreas And Diabetes
The pancreas has its own molecular clock. Now, for the first time, a Northwestern University study has shown this ancient circadian clock regulates the production of insulin. If the clock is faulty, the result is diabetes. The researchers show that insulin-secreting islet cells in the pancreas, called beta-cells, have their own dedicated clock…  Read More →
Grapefruit’s Bitter Taste Holds A Sweet Promise For Diabetes Therapy
Naringenin, an antioxidant derived from the bitter flavor of grapefruits and other citrus fruits, may cause the liver to break down fat while increasing insulin sensitivity, a process that naturally occurs during long periods of fasting…  Read More →
Diabetes Research: New Way To Grow Embryonic Stem Cells Holds Promise Of Dramatic Reduction In Animal Use
A new method of priming early embryos to form embryonic stem (ES) cells has allowed ES cells to be derived from mice used in diabetes research for the first time. This could dramatically reduce the number of animals used to study the genetic basis of type 1 diabetes and has the potential to do the same for mouse models of other diseases too…  Read More →
Consistent And Successful Islet Isolations Offer Diabetes Hope
A team of researchers from several collaborating Baylor University research centers and from Japan’s Okayama Graduate School of Medicine have found a way to more consistently isolate pancreatic islet cells from brain dead donors using ductal injection (DI), a process that immediately cools donor islet cells at the injection site…  Read More →
Bone Marrow Cells Produce Nerve Growth Factor And Promote Angiogenesis Around Transplanted Islets
Islet transplantation is a promising treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus. The promotion of angiogenesis is an important endeavor to prevent islet graft failure. Endothelial precursor cells (EPCs), a heterogeneous group originating in the hematopoietic compartment of bone marrow, have an important role in the angiogenesis of adult tissues…  Read More →
Some Cells In Pancreas Can Spontaneously Change Into Insulin-Poducing Cells
Alpha cells in the pancreas, which do not produce insulin, can convert into insulin-producing beta cells, advancing the prospect of regenerating beta cells as a cure for type 1 diabetes. The findings come from a study at the University of Geneva, co-funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, that is published in the online edition of the... 
Preventing Pancreatic Islet Loss After Transplantation
Although transplantation of pancreatic islets is an attractive way to treat type 1 diabetes, early islet loss soon after transplantation has limited its clinical use…  Read More →
Discovery Could Help Diabetics And Others With Slow-to-Heal Wounds
A new discovery about the wound-healing process could lead to better treatments for diabetics and other patients who have wounds that are slow to heal. Loyola University Health System researchers found that certain immune system cells slow the wound-healing process…  Read More →
Unlocking The Secrets Of Cellular Energy Holds Promise For Obesity, Diabetes And Cancer
A breakthrough on how cells regulate their energy is promising for clinical gains into diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer. Researchers at McGill University and University of Pennsylvania have uncovered new insights into how a protein known as the AMP-activated protein kinase, or AMPK, a master regulator of metabolism, controls how our cells... 
JDRF-Funded Research Advances Potential For Regeneration As A Possible Cure For Type 1 Diabetes
A hormone responsible for the body’s stress response is also linked to the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, according to JDRF- funded researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California. The findings are the latest advances to underscore the potential for regeneration as a key component of a possible cure...
