• Mesoblast Reports Positive Results Using Intravenously Injected Adult Stem Cells for Type 2 Diabetes

  Mesoblast Limited  announced that a single intravenous injection of its proprietary adult stem cells resulted in significant lowering of blood sugar levels for up to eight weeks in a controlled, randomized preclinical trial in non-human primates with Type 2 diabetes. This was accompanied by signific more

• Glucose uptake relies on newly identified protein

  All cells need glucose (sugar) to produce the energy they need to survive. High glucose levels in the bloodstream (such as occur after a meal), trigger the pancreas to produce insulin. In turn, muscle and fat cells respond to insulin by moving GLUT4, a glucose transporter, from intracellular storage more

• The medicine's in the (wine) bottle

  Some red wines contain such high levels of polyphenols that a single glass has equivalent bioactivity to several daily doses of an anti-diabetes drug. Polyphenols play a key role in the health benefits of wine by acting as antioxidants that prevent cell damage, but the other possible effects of the more

• Miniaturised Platelet Aggregation Assays using the NOVOstar Microplate Reader
  

  Platelet aggregation is a “gold standard” assay of platelet function in the research and clinical laboratory settings which is conventionally measured with aggregometers requiring large volumes of platelet suspensions and only in low throughput format. With the NOVOstar microplate reader from BMG LABTECH we present an alternative optical method to measure platelet aggregation using small volumes in 96-well format more

• A granular look at sugar
  

  Our experience with sugar starts in early childhood – since breast milk contains lactose. Human sensory perception alone is, however, not enough to properly assess the useful but also potentially harmful effects of an age-old sweetener (saccharose). Nutrition researchers and physicians have, for this reason, been focusing attention for some time on sugar compounds, particularly glucose more

• Characterizing Biotherapeutics with HPLC
  

  As demonstrated here, there are a broad range of HPLC applications used in development, production, validation and release of protein therapeutics for human use. Some of the applications mentioned above are mandatory when submitting a new biopharmaceutical to approval at the regulatory agencies. The introduction of the first so-called biosimilars in Europe further increased the demand for highly efficient analysis methods. The continuous development of new stationary phases for the common modes of biochromatography, such as size exclusion, ion exchange and hydrophilic interaction chromatography support biochemists in increasing lab productivity and establishing high-throughput HPLC analysis not only for small molecules but also for large biopolymers more

• Improving cellular function and immune protection via layer‐by‐layer nanocoating of pancreatic islet β‐cell spheroids cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells

  Abstract Islet transplantation as a therapy for type 1 diabetes is currently limited by lack of primary transplant material from human donors and post‐transplantation loss of islets caused by adverse immune and nonimmune reactions. This study aimed to develop a novel strategy to create microenvir more

• Kinetic modeling of free fatty acid production in Escherichia coli based on continuous cultivation of a plasmid free strain

  Abstract The microbial production of free fatty acids (FFAs) and reduced derivatives is an attractive process for the renewable production of diesel fuels. Toward this goal, a plasmid‐free strain of Escherichia coli was engineered to produce FFAs by integrating three copies of a thioesterase gene more

• Puerarin protects human umbilical vein endothelial cells against high glucose‐induced apoptosis by upregulating heme oxygenase‐1 and inhibiting calpain activation

  Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether puerarin protects against high glucose (HG)‐induced apoptosis by suppressing calpain activation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were exposed to normal glucose (NG) (5.5 mm) or HG (33 mm) for 48 h; then, apoptosis more
