The percentage of adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring at 10 diabetes clinics increased by 21% following multi-level interventions, according to a study published in Clinical Diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes melilites (T2DM) is increasing in prevalence, currently affecting about 1 in 10 people. Normally, cells use sugar (glucose) for energy, and insulin enables the sugar to enter the cells.

About 1 in 3 American adults has insulin resistance, a silent time bomb that doubles their risk for serious depression, Stanford scientists have learned.

Ask any high school biology student to draw a picture of a mammalian cell and they'll likely start with a rough circle (the cell membrane) enclosing the nucleus, mitochondria and other subcellular structures necessary for life.

Researchers have found that old skeletal stem cells contribute to bone fragility and poor healing in mice, but that a stem cell-boosting gel may help restore function.
