Dr Liz O’Riordan, a breast cancer surgeon and three-time cancer patient, shares the surprising things that raise the risk of ...

Cancer recurs because of genetic mutations, its aggressive nature or limitations of treatment methods, say experts ...

Taking prednisone can make the liver resistant to insulin, raising blood sugar levels and potentially leading to steroid-induced diabetes. Steroids may also worsen existing diabetes symptoms.

We are aware of reports regarding supply issues of insulin in the UK. Some of these reports are of insulins that are being discontinued and some are where there is a temporary shortage. Here’s the ...

A genetic variant specifically found in people from Greenland can trigger the development of type 2 diabetes, latest research has highlighted. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have found ...

Purpose: The incidence of lung cancer is closely associated with diabetes; however, it remains unclear whether diabetes influences the genetic mutations present in lung cancer. Therefore, we will ...

This mutation leads to significant glucose intolerance, meaning their bodies struggle to remove sugar from the bloodstream after consuming it. “Carriers of this variant have insulin-resistant ...

However, no such hyperactivation was seen, and instead, a graded diminution of insulin-induced AKT phosphorylation was observed from the lowest to highest levels of p85α ΔEx11 overexpression (Fig 2 ...

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

José Manuel Fernández-Real, Abel López-Bermejo, and Wifredo Ricart Fifth, insulin resistance features are frequently seen in patients chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus.

A human strain of H5N1 bird flu isolated in Texas shows mutations enabling better replication in human cells and causing more severe disease in mice compared to a bovine strain. While the virus isn’t ...

A significant portion of the Greenlandic Inuit population carries a genetic variant that increases their risk of type 2 diabetes tenfold. Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have ...
