Road to Cure for Diabetes?
(Toronto) The discovery of a critical role for sensory nerves in diabetes opens door to new treatment strategies, possibly to a cure to diabetes!
Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children, the University of Calgary and The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine have found that diabetes is controlled by abnormalities in the sensory nociceptor (pain-related) nerve endings in the pancreatic islet cells that produce insulin. This discovery, a breakthrough that has long been the elusive goal of diabetes research, has led to new treatment strategies for diabetes, achieving reversal of the disease without severe, toxic immunosuppression. This research is reported in the December 15 issue of the journal Cell.
