Polygonatum sibiricum Polysaccharides (PSP) Improve the Palmitic Acid (PA)-Induced Inhibition of Survival, Inflammation, and Glucose Uptake in Skeletal Muscle Cells
[Bioengineered] The underlying molecular mechanisms of PSP in improving insulin resistance (IR) in skeletal muscle remain unclear. PA induced an IR model in L6 myotubes. After treatment, cell proliferation was measured using the CCK8.

Smoothened (SMO) Regulates Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) Levels and Protein Kinase B (AKT) Localization and Signaling
[Laboratory Investigation] Investigators provided evidence that elevated levels of human SMO showed a strong correlation with elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor and reduced survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Gastrin Producing Syngeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Protect Non-obese Diabetic Mice from Type 1 Diabetes
[Autoimmunity] Scientists reported the use of MSCs for the production and delivery of Gastrin, a peptide hormone that is produced by intestinal cells and fetal islets and can increase β-cell mass, to promote protection from type 1 diabetes.

L-methionine Prevents β-Cell Damage by Modulating the Expression of Arx, MafA and Regulation of FOXO1 in Type 1 Diabetic Rats
[Acta Histochemica] Researchers investigated the effect of L-Met on streptozotocin-induced β-cell damage model of diabetes mellitus in Sprague Dawley rats. At the end of study biochemical parameters, immunoblotting, qRT-PCR and ChIP-qPCR were performed.
