A promising discovery for a definitive treatment for both types of diabetes
In a step that brings the world closer to the possibility of developing an effective treatment for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, a study conducted by researchers in Germany discovered that promising results are achieved in that direction when disabling one of the receptors that inhibits insulin secretion in the body, if it turns out that this leads to activation and an increase in the level of insulin secretion. sensitivity of the insulin signaling pathway in pancreatic beta cells; This protects these cells and allows them to regenerate and begin to secrete insulin. The study was conducted by a team of researchers under the supervision of the German National Center for Diabetes Research, and was published in the specialized scientific journal Nature, whose results were described as “a milestone in the field of diabetes research.” In laboratory experiments with mice, the researchers sought to explore the consequences of inactivating this inhibitory receptor (IGF1R) by eliminating it in pa
