Research on Pancreatic Cells Offer New Hope Diabetes Treatment

Researchers were glad to know that stem cells might be able to perform the functions of pancreatic cells in certain instances. This can be highly beneficial in lowering the risk of diabetes in one. After studying about pancreatic agenesis in detail, experts are of the opinion that the gene GATA 6 has a key role to play here.

It is a rare disorder to be born without a pancreas known as pancreatic agenesis. Pancreas has a chief role to play in one’s body from supporting the digestion process to the hormonal functions. The exocrine and the endocrine process are the two significant roles of the pancreas.

In case of one suffering from pancreatic agenesis, it has been observed that fifteen among twenty- seven people experience a mutation in this gene GATA 6. By comprehending with this relationship, the researchers seem to be assertive about treating diabetes 1 in one by producing beta cells in them.

The Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry has been happy to know and understand this relationship as it might support their treatment towards the treatment of diabetes.

people are living with the virus. Pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions all

over the world have made numerous trials since 1983 when the virus was first typified. Till

HIV genes or it concentrates on specific elements of HIV.

Tax on Sugar Beverages will Help Check Diabetes and Obesity

Nowadays not only Obesity but many other risks like diabetes, stroke, and numerous heart ailments are due to sugar based drinks. A study conducted at University California, San Francisco (UCSF) has brought statics to fore. The study proposes a penny-per-ounce tax on sweetened beverages.

Control in heart disease occurrences and stokes will be balanced by penny-per-ounce tax on sugary drinks over the decade. It will also help prevent diabetes.

It would not only save $17 billion but help public expenses over such health problems in coming decade.
