Artemether-based therapy for autoimmune diabetes (TIDM): Artemether, a methyl ether-derivative of artemisinin isolated from artemisia annua, increases PD-L1 expression, increases Tregs function, promotes immune tolerance, increases pancreatic β-cell proliferation and regeneration, increases insulin secretion, improves insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, and reverses TIDM, via up regulation of its target gene, 15/May/2018, 6.47 am
Introduction: What they say A study from the International Center for T1D, Pediatric Clinical Research Center Romeo ed Enrica Invernizzi, “L. Sacco” Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, University of Milan, Milan 20157, Italy; and Nephrology Division, Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA shows that “PD-L1 genetic overexpression or pharmacological restoration in hematopoietic stem and progenitor […]
Neurotrophic factor-based therapy for glucose homeostasis and TIIDM: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) increases Pax6 and insulin expression, decreases the levels of glucagon, ghrelin and Somatostatin, reduces metabolic stress, improves insulin sensitivity, promotes glucose homeostasis and prevents progression to TIIDM via down regulation of its target gene, 15/May/2018, 6.31 am
Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research, The Institute for Medical Research Israel-Canada, The Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel shows that “PAX6 maintains ß cell identity by repressing genes of alternative islet cell types.” This research paper was published, in the 12 December 2016 issue of […]
Suppressing pain with hydrogen-rich saline: Hydrogen-rich saline increases the expression of PD-L1, attenuates acutes and chronic pain, and suppresses mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity and inhibits nociceptive neuron excitability via up-regulation of its target gene, 15/May/2018, 6.23 pm
Introduction:What they say: A recent study, from Institute of Neurobiology, Institutes of Brain Science and State Key Laboratory of Medical Neurobiology, Collaborative Innovation Center for Brain Science, Fudan University, Shanghai, China; and Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, US, shows that “PD-L1 inhibits acute and chronic pain by suppressing nociceptive neuron […]
Awakening the sleeping/cancer-protecting angels in mutant p53-expressing human tumors: Hydrogen-rich saline increases the expression of tumor suppressors genes, such as p53, TA-p73 and TA-p63, BigH3, TIPE2, and others, induces regression of p53-mutated human tumors, via down regulation of its target gene, 14/May/2017, 6.13 am
From Significance of the study to Public health relevance: Given that: (1) cancer suppressor p53 is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers of different tissue origin; (2) p53 pathway is altered in about 80% of tumors.; (3) our understanding is incomplete in terms of molecular targets and the oncogenic/malignant pathways involved in mutant […]
A sweet way to say no to TIIDM: Agavin, an oligofructose and natural sweetener found in Agave, increases Pax6 and insulin expression, decreases the levels of glucagon, ghrelin and Somatostatin, reduces metabolic stress, improves insulin sensitivity, promotes glucose homeostasis and prevents progression to TIIDM via down regulation of its target gene, 14/May/2018, 10.56 pm

Interleukin-based therapy for glucose homeostasis and TIIDM: IL-21 increases Pax6 and insulin expression, decreases the levels of glucagon, ghrelin and Somatostatin, reduces metabolic stress, improves insulin sensitivity, promotes glucose homeostasis and prevents progression to TIIDM via down regulation of its target gene, 14/May/2018, 10.50 pm
