In May, Xuntian Jiang, PhD and colleagues had their research titled “CRISPR-Cas9 Knock-In of T513M and G41S Mutations in the Murine β–Galactosyl-Ceramidase Gene Re-capitulates Early-Onset and Adult-Onset Forms of Krabbe Disease,” published in “Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience.” Krabbe Disease is a genetic deficiency disorder of the lysosomal enzyme β-galactosyl-ceramidase (GALC). The correlation between reduced activity […]
On September 23, Jing Hughes, MD, PhD and colleagues published their research titled “Islet primary cilia motility controls insulin secretion” in Science Advances. “Primary cilia are thought of as immotile, mainly due to the lack of evidence of molecular motors. We have now found a missing link that explains why some primary cilia could, in […]
On September 12, Alexis McKee, MD published an article on “EndocrineWeb,” titled “What Is the Peak Time for NPH Insulin?” “Insulin is a lifesaving hormone that is necessary for cells in your body to absorb sugar (glucose). Depending on the type of diabetes mellitus a person has, there can be a complete absence of insulin (type […]
On August 25, Max C. Petersen, MD and collaborators has their review titled “Complex physiology and clinical implications of time-restricted eating,” published in “Physiological Reviews.” Time-restricted eating (TRE) limits food consumption to certain windows of time throughout the day.
