Towards a Possible Solution to Diabetes

Image
A team of researchers led by Dr. Jeffrey Millman at Washington University may be a step closer to a potential solution to diabetes, according to the results of a new study in which replacement beta cells were given to mice. What is diabetes? Diabetes is a disease that occurs when blood glucose levels are constantly too high. Blood glucose is the main source of energy for the body and comes from the nutrients we eat. Insulin is a hormone created in the pancreas that allows our cells to use glucose for energy. Unfortunately, sometimes the body does not make enough or even any insulin, and even when it does, it does not always manage it effectively. The result of this is that the glucose remains in the blood, and, over time, having elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream can lead to health problems. There are two main types of diabetes. In type 1, the body does not make insulin at all because the immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

Bushfires and COVID-19: A tough year for Australia's tourism industry Australia's crisis management is showing effect, and the curve has been flattened — for now.

I really don't know how those in the accommodation business are surviving," says Lindy Pitt, the owner of the guesthouse. How COVID-19 disrupts tourism Australia reached its coronavirus climax at the end of March, recording nearly 500 new cases per day. New restr
