Diabetes Is History

Trigger


Like cancer, there is a good chance that diabetes will be a menace of the past!

“After decades of searching, researchers may have finally identified a chemical compound that could be used to study and treat diabetes.”

An IDE Inhibitor

“The newly identified IDE [insulin-degrading enzyme] inhibitor could be the starting point for developing a powerful new drug for type 2 diabetes. … The new inhibitor lasts for hours, says Liu.”

“Liu and his team developed the new compound using a novel method called DNA-templated synthesis. This involves linking thousands of different chemical structures to thousands of unique DNA strands, and then taking advantage of the interactions between two strands of DNA to bring the chemical building blocks together to create new ones.”
