    Redox Regulation of m6A Methyltransferase METTL3 in β-Cells Controls the Innate Immune Response in Type 1 Diabetes

    Investigators reported that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) was an adaptive β-cell safeguard mechanism that controled the amplitude and duration of the antiviral innate immune response at type 1 diabetes onset.

    Cell-Surface ZnT8 Antibody Prevents and Reverses Autoimmune Diabetes in Mice

    Scientists demonstrated that mAb43 binds to exocytotic sites on the β-cell surface, masking the antigenic exposure of ZnT8 and insulin following glucosestimulated insulin secretion.

    Abstract

    Role of CFTR in Diabetes-Induced Pancreatic Ductal Fluid and HCO3− Secretion

    The authors investigated the effect of diabetes on ductal function. Diabetes was induced in wild-type and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator knockout mice following an i.p. administration of streptozotocin.

    A Synergistic Two-Drug Therapy Specifically Targets a DNA Repair Dysregulation That Occurs in p53-Deficient Colorectal and Pancreatic Cancers

    Scientists reported a therapeutic strategy for p53Mut tumors based on abnormalities in the DNA repair response. Investigation of DNA repair upon challenge with thymidine analogs revealed a dysregulation in DNA repair response in p53Mut cells that led to accumulation of DNA breaks.

    Diabetes Research Study Evaluating a New Approach To Helping Patients Now Offered in Warwick

    A new diabetes research study is available in Warwick, R.I., to evaluate a non-drug procedure that may help improve blood sugar without increasing medicines or insulin. The combination of diabetes and obesity significantly increases one’s risk of heart attacks, stroke, liver disease, and other serious health problems.
