💡Findings suggest that activating AMPK, the body's fuel guage, could reduce this inflammatory response. Drugs targetting AMPK could help manage inflammation during #hypo, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular events #diabetes. Full text👇onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

New @DiabetesUK funded research published in @DiabeticMed reports how low blood sugar (#hypoglycemia) triggers inflammation by increasing the release of a protein called MIF in immune cells👇

New study led by Jiping Zhang - low glucose increases macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) release from macrophages. Allosteric #AMPK activators do a decent job at attenuating/limiting MIF release @diabmedwiley #ExeterDiabetes @DUK_research. Explainer to follow

Absolutely thrilled to have received funding from the SMF-DUK #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge to work with the awesome @prashant1003 and @Teresa_IDF1 and in collaboration with @LabSancho to look at how my favourite molecules, microRNAs, behave differently between beta-cells (1/2)
(1/2) 🔬The #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge is investing over £2 million into four more #research projects. They're breaking new ground in the search for innovative ways to treat #Type1Diabetes. Find out more 👉 orlo.uk/j2zmw

Sapaly et al. show that muscle cholesterol metabolism is dysregulated in ALS before the onset of motor symptoms. Abnormal cholesterol transport from lysosomes may alter muscle energy metabolism and could be a potential therapeutic target. tinyurl.com/2bxuv6t7
