Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.

Scientists identify key gene SMOC1 linked to Type 2 diabetes. Discovery could lead to advanced treatments targeting the root ...

A new study suggests that one of the most common diabetes treatments may speed type 2 diabetes progression by causing insulin-producing cells to lose their functional identity. Sulphonylureas have bee ...

New research reveals that type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease, it physically reshapes the heart ...

Type 2 diabetes alters the behavior of discs in the vertebral column, making them stiffer, and also causes the discs to change shape earlier than normal. As a result, the disc's ability to withstand ...

For the first time, researchers have identified the genetic mechanism underlying the protective role zinc has for type 2 diabetes and the fatty liver disease associated with the condition. The ...

Insulin resistance is usually associated with type 2 diabetes. Now researchers have found it in cancer patients and learned that it can cause cancer to spread faster. Back in the 1920s, researchers ...
