Why are diabetics more susceptible to respiratory infections?

35% of the corona patients who died in the epidemic were diabetics. In a new study, Weizmann Institute of Science scientists reveal that high blood sugar levels disrupt the immune system's ability to fight lung infections and present a therapeutic approach that may save lives

  • No comments
The state of California promotes programs for self-production of insulin. The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, allocated one hundred million dollars from the new state budget for this purpose. The governor is known for his position, ever since his election in 2019, which supports the self-production of generic drugs

"Thanks" to cannabis research: researchers have identified the development process of diabetic kidney disease

In this disease, the body produces substances similar to those found in cannabis, which damage the kidney * University researchers have found a way to improve the medical treatment of diabetic kidney disease, which affects approximately 30% of diabetics in the world. The new method that is adapted to each patient can prevent the damage, and even the development of the disease

Researchers have developed a way to create "spare parts" of blood vessels in the body

An innovative development offers a biological device based on stem cells and encourages the creation of new blood vessels, which could replace damaged blood vessels in diabetics suffering from leg ulcers and patients in need of catheterization

A technology developed at the Technion improved glucose uptake in diabetic mice

The conventional treatments for diabetes and insulin resistance are based on the consumption of drugs by injection and ingestion and provide a partial and short-term solution. This is the background for trying to develop long-term systemic solutions, and this is where the new development comes in
Taking insulin by mouth. The mechanism of action: on the left - the insulin molecules are integrated and protected against discharge within nozzle frames; On the right - the insulin molecules are released in the blood circulation and reduce the glucose levels in the blood

Scientists have succeeded in combining a 'covalent organic framework' together with insulin and demonstrated that the combination can significantly reduce the blood sugar levels of diabetic mice * If the process is successful in clinical trials, it will be possible to dispense with insulin injections, and make the lives and balance of diabetics easier
