Herrick investigates the effects of SDoH on glycemic control in low-income individuals with type 2 diabetes 

Cynthia Herrick, MD, FACP

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 […]

Bernal-Mizrachi Lab demonstrates the relationship between embryonic vitamin D deficiency and type 2 diabetes 

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 […]

Zhang and McGill offer an in-depth analysis on clinical guidelines for chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes 

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. […]

Protein palmitoylation helps to model the evolution of some forms of type 2 diabetes   

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, […]

Urano publishes review on the role of endoplasmic reticulum in diabetes 

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, […]

Semenkovich Lab and collaborators show the evolution of type 2 diabetes through APT1 deficiency 

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 […]
