On February 28, Maamoun Salam, MD; Janet B. McGill, MD, MA, FACP; and colleagues had their article titled, “A Comparison of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Estimated Hemoglobin A1c in Adults with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes,” published in volume 25, issue 3 of Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics. In their research, Drs. Salam, McGill and colleagues […]
On November 14, Dr. Clay F. Semenkovich, Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Lipid Research, participated in World Diabetes Day by joining in a YouTube series hosted by Cell Metabolism. In the series, Dr. Semenkovich discusses the paper “Palmitoylation couples insulin hypersecretion with β cell failure in diabetes,” published on February 7, 2023, […]
On May 23, Cynthia Herrick, MD, MPHS and colleagues had their study titled “Food insecurity, SNAP participation and glycemic control in low-income adults with predominantly type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional analysis using NHANES 2007–2018 data,” published by BMJ Open Diabetes Research and Care. Food insecurity is one social determinant of health (SDoH) known to affect […]
On June 13, Bernal-Mizrachi Lab had their article titled “Embryonic vitamin D deficiency programs hematopoietic stem cells to induce type 2 diabetes,” published by Springer Nature. Currently, the risk of later-in-life type 2 diabetes from embryonic immune cell programming is unknown. It is possible that environmental factors can cause metabolic disease by altering the fetal […]
In March, Rong Mei Zhang, MD; Janet B. McGill, MD, and colleagues had their journal article titled “Clinical implications and guidelines for CKD in type 2 diabetes,” published in Volume 38, Issue 3 of Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation. Kidney disease is a complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and carries a high morbidity and mortality rate. […]
On February 7, Guifang Dong, PhD; Sangeeta Adak, PhD; Qiang Zhang, PhD; Chu Feng, MS; Li Yin, MD; Sarah Speck; Shuntaro Morikawa; Rie Asada, PhD; Fumihiko Urano, MD, PhD; Maria Remedi, PhD; Xiaochao Wei, PhD; Clay Semenkovich, MD; and collaborators had their work published in “Cell Metabolism.” “Hyperinsulinemia often precedes type 2 diabetes,” and palmitoylation, […]
In January, Fumihiko Urano, MD, PhD and collaborator, Shuntaro Morikawa had their research review titled “The Role of ER Stress in Diabetes: Exploring Pathological Mechanisms Using Wolfram Syndrome,” published in the “International Journal of Molecular Sciences.” Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important cytosolic organelle that contributes to the folding and processing of new secretory proteins, […]
On January 11, Semenkovich Lab and collaborators, had their research titled “Palmitoylation couples insulin hypersecretion with β cell failure in diabetes,” published in “Cell Metabolism.” Hyperinsulinemia is known to often come before type 2 diabetes. In the study, they explain how acyl-protein thioesterase 1 (APT1) knockdown in nondiabetic islets causes insulin hypersecretion. By using palmitoylation proteomics, their […]
On November 18, Cynthia Herrick, MD, FACP and colleagues had their work titled “Barriers and facilitators to diabetes screening and prevention after a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes,” published in “PLoS ONE.” “Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing in the United States, with higher rates among minoritized racial and ethnic populations and lower income populations.” […]
