Blood Sugar Kept In Control By Novel Protein

...ntrol in mice. Experiments have demonstrated that mice with an excess of the protein Sirt1 in cells of the pancreas have improved glucose tolerance and enhanced insulin secretion in response to glucose. In addition respond better to high sugar levels by raising insulin levels thereby enabling rapid clear...

Nanocells cancer combination therapy acts as chemotherapy as well as anti-angiogenic drug

... will work for a given tumour." Eighty per cent of mice treated with nanocells survived beyond 65 days compared with 30 days in the case of mice treated with the best current therapy. "The 65-day period wasn't a benchmark," he noted. "When we st...

Brain Plays Vital Role In Maintaining Bone Density

...xperimented with genetically engineered laboratory mice whose ability to react to interleukin 1, a protein, has been known for many years, reports science portal EurekAlert. The researchers were able to demonstrate that the proper loss or generation balance in bone tissue is regulated by the level of act...

... occurring hormone that can extend the lifespan of mice by as much as 30%. Mice lacking the gene for klotho began showing signs of premature aging around 3 to 4 weeks of age and die after // about two months when compared to an average life span of 2 years. This has indeed opened up new avenues into impro...
