(SALT LAKE CITY) - University of Utah researchers have found that the structure of an insulin molecule produced by predatory cone snails may be an improvement over current fast-acting therapeutic ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...

Researchers have answered a 100-year-old question in diabetes research: can a molecule different to insulin have the same effect? The findings provide important insights for the future development of ...

Insulin resistance has a molecular fingerprint, and scientists have just cracked it. In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen found that each person’s body responds to ...

Regular insulin injections to keep blood-sugar levels in check are a harsh reality for many sufferers of diabetes, but ongoing progress towards oral alternatives offer cause for optimism. Scientists ...

For some ant queens, the secret to long life might be a self-produced insulin blocker. Ant queens are famously long-lived, even though they shouldn’t be. Generally, animals that put lots of energy ...

Scientists have identified a single gene that gives rise to a rare form of diabetes, unique to newborn babies. Mutations of this gene can disable and ultimately kill off insulin-producing cells. The ...
