Nucleostemin, Serotonin And Insulin Signaling: Controlling Drosophila Growth
In the July 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Matthew Scott and colleagues at Stanford University School of Medicine reveal that a protein called Nucleostemin 3 links the serotonin and insulin signaling pathways in the control of Drosophila body size. Nucleostemin proteins were originally identified in mammals, where they are associated with undifferentiated, proliferating stem cells. In human cells, Nucleostemin expression has been linked with certain types of cancer.

'Snapshots' Of Eyes Could Serve As Early Warning Of Diabetes Or Diabetic Eye Disease, U-M Researchers Report
A new vision screening device, already shown to give an early warning of eye disease, could give doctors and patients a head start on treating diabetes and its vision complications, a new study shows. The instrument, invented by two scientists at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center, captures images of the eye to detect metabolic stress and tissue damage that occur before the first symptoms of disease are evident.

Diabetes May Increase Tuberculosis Risk
A new paper published in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine finds that people with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB). Diabetes mellitus is characterized by abnormally high blood sugar level due to insufficient amounts of the insulin hormone, and TB is an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs.

Potential To Prevent Loss Of Insulin In Type 2 Diabetes
There are two completely different diseases known as diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition that often starts in childhood or adolescence. Type 2 is a metabolic disorder sometimes associated with lifestyle. In both cases, the insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreas die, albeit at different rates. Until now, it was thought that the processes leading to beta cell death were similar in both diseases.
