Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signalling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet. Researchers have produced a comprehensive ...

Gene therapy promises many new ways to combat disease. The best strategy depends on the disease, but two important goals are that the genetic change is precise, and that gene expression is controlled ...

An analysis of insulin-controlled proteins in the skeletal muscle of genetically distinct mice sheds light on the interplay between genes and diet in type 2 diabetes. Researchers have produced a ...

Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signaling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition with no known cure. Unlike type 2 diabetes, which can sometimes be managed or even reversed through lifestyle changes, type 1 diabetes cannot be ...

In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...
