UC Davis chemist Marie Heffern is pioneering a new field, metalloendocrinology, exploring how metals such as iron, zinc and copper influence hormones. (Gregory Urquiaga/UC Davis) Metals such as zinc, ...

Scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes. Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have determined ...

The discovery of insulin nearly a century ago changed diabetes from a death sentence to a chronic disease. This week, a team that includes researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of ...

Every cell in your body responds to the hormone insulin, and if that process starts to fail, you get diabetes. In an unexpected finding, scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have identified four ...

Metals such as zinc, copper and chromium bind to and influence a peptide involved in insulin production, according to new work. The research is part of a new field of 'metalloendocrinology' that takes ...
