Preventive therapeutic for diabetes shows promise in mouse study

Researchers from the Liston lab, at the Babraham Institute, have recently published details about a preventative therapeutic for diabetes in mice. The team has been able to prevent diabetes in mice by manipulating signaling pathways in pancreatic cells to prevent stress-induced cell death. The treatment targets a pathway common to both major types of diabetes and therefore could have huge therapeutic potential once translated into a clinical treatment.
