Insulin is one of the most commonly used therapeutic agents used in diabetes. While the structure of this complex protein has been studied in detail there were parts of the receptor for insulin that ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have demonstrated for the first time in living animals that insulin receptors in the brain can initiate signaling that regulates both the structure and function of neural circuits. The ...

Long-acting insulin helps people with diabetes maintain normal blood sugar levels throughout the day. Unlike short-acting insulin, it never peaks, keeping an even sugar level in your blood. When you ...

A model for the three-dimensional structure of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is proposed based on the close sequence homology of IGF with insulin, the tertiary structure of which is known. The IGF ...

The price of insulin continues to rise. But before jumping on du jour soundbites, knowing its history may help explain why our first wonder drug is now a chimeric poster child for the best and worse ...

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