Study: Scientists are now one step closer to improved treatment of Type 2 diabetes
The team from Garvan's Diabetes Signalling Unit, led by Associate Professor
Trevor Biden and Dr Carsten Schmitz-Peiffer, has identified an enzyme known as "PKCepsilon" (PKCe) that is active during diabetes and blocks the availability of insulin. "In PKCe, we believe we've identified a very important biological target that will enable us to address one of the major underlying causes of diabetes," said Biden. "The next step is to develop a targeted pharmaceutical that will inhibit PKCe and allow the insulin producing cells of the pancreas to do their job." http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/res...ryarticle=5185 |
