Insulin the major fuel-regulating hormone of the body, formed from proinsulin in the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Insulin promotes the storage of glucose and the uptake of amino acids, increases protein and lipid synthesis, and inhibits fat breakdown and gluconeogenesis. Secretion of insulin is a response of the beta cells to a stimulus; the primary stimulus is the presence of glucose, and others are amino acids and certain hormones. After insulin is released from the beta cells, it enters the bloodstream and is transported to cells throughout the body. The cell membranes have insulin receptors to which the hormone becomes bonded or “fixed.” An interaction between the insulin and its receptors leads to biochemical processes that include: transport of glucose, amino acids, and certain ions into the cell body; storage of glycogen in liver and muscle cells; synthesis of triglyceridesand storage of fat; synthesis of protein, RNA, and DNA; and inhibition of gluconeogenesis, and breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fats. a preparation of the hormone used in treatment of diabetes mellitus; it may be prepared from the pancreas of an animal, be created by recombinant technology, or be an insuline analogue that has a small chemical alteration.

Gosh! Embroyo-FREE! Another development among Millins that doesn’t use Embryonic Stem Cells!!OBOZO will ban that development post-haste!

Adult stem cells good news.

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes or stem cell ping lists. See comment# 1.

what happened to all the fantastic cures from embryo stem cell research....Nada...nothing.....zip

[denydenydeny]

his team took skin cells from two Type 1 diabetes patients, exposed the cells to a cocktail of three genes that converted them back to an embryonic state

Sadly, most people reading this sentence would probably interpret it as a proof that embryonic stem cells actually work. Of course, Time helps by never mentioning the term "adult stem cells" anywhere in a story about adult stem cells.

Another fundamentally dishonest article from the MSM.

Disclaimer: No babies were killed in the production of this experiment.

Here's a different breakthrough reported today:

A gene that controls the way the body responds to the hormone insulin has been identified, marking a breakthrough in the fight against diabetes

[SuziQ]

The achievement involved the newer embryo-free technique for generating stem cells, and marked the first step toward building a treatment that could one day replace a patient's faulty insulin-making cells with healthy, functioning ones.

Outstanding!

[Fred Hayek]

But this must not be allowed:

1. No embryonic stem cells involved.
2. Goes against eugenics czar Zeke Emmanuel’s recommendation - sick people have a duty to die.

score another one for adult stem cells!
