Gene Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Moves a Step Closer to Reality
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is assuming pandemic proportions and is currently estimated at 285 million cases (1). Although most cases are due to obesity-associated type 2 DM, there is also an increase in the annual prevalence of type 1 DM (2). It is estimated that 10% of the diabetic population have type 1 DM. Both forms of DM are associated with a long-term risk of microvascular a...
متن کاملSomatic gene therapy to treat heart failure is one step closer to reality.
Despite recent advances in heart failure therapy, patients with end-stage cardiac failure have a poor prognosis and die within 5 years. Diagnosis of the hereditary form of heart failure is becoming increasingly prevalent due to the identification of causative mutations in many structural genes encoding contractile and cytoskeletal proteins. The majority of muscular dystrophies including Duchenn...
متن کاملCathI - Training System for PTCA. A Step Closer to Reality
The number of minimally invasive cardiological interventions has increased over the last few years and therefore computer based training systems find growing interest. They offer a better learning schedule compared to traditional master-apprentice models due to the repeatability of the learning situation and the possibility to learn individual tasks. Below we present the research system CathI t...
متن کاملGene therapy for type 1 diabetes.
The most intensively studied autoimmune disorder, type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), has attracted perhaps the greatest interest for gene-based therapeutic and prophylactic interventions. The final clinical manifestation of this immunologically and genetically complex disease, the absence of insulin, is the major starting point for almost all the gene therapy modalities attempted to date. Insulin ...
متن کاملEfficacy of insulin targeted gene therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis of rodent studies
Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major worldwide public health challenge, for which gene therapy offers a potential therapeutic approach. To date, no systematic review or meta-analysis has been published in this area, so we examined all relevant published studies on rodents to elucidate the overall effects of gene therapy on bodyweight, intraperitoneal glucose...
