[PRESS RELEASE, 13 May 200] Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have in two recent studies shown that a receptor called ALK7 plays important roles in the regulation of ...

The insulin receptor (IR) is a prototypical receptor tyrosine kinase that orchestrates critical cellular processes, including metabolism, cell growth and differentiation. Activation of the IR involves ...

A new study focuses on the insulin receptor to understand its role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disease with a major impact on global health. Insulin resistance precedes ...

The FINANCIAL — New Zealand research revealing a new mechanism for how glucose stimulates insulin secretion may provide a new explanation for how a gene that makes people more susceptible to diabetes ...

Scientists at the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have demonstrated that targeting the chromatin protein SMNDC1 will stimulate alpha cells to produce insulin ...
