Most ViewedIs there a cure for diabetes?
There is not a single, universally accepted cure for “diabetes” today, because diabetes names multiple diseases with different causes and treatments (type 1 and type 2 being the largest categories) . ...

How do different parasite species (helminths vs protozoa vs tissue parasites) differentially affect pancreatic function and insulin sensitivity?
(worm) infections are repeatedly associated with improved insulin sensitivity and reduced metabolic inflammation in animal models and some human epidemiology, mediated largely by type-2 immune shifts,...

Which parasite species have experimental evidence of altering insulin sensitivity or β‑cell autoimmunity in animal models?
Animal-model experiments and mechanistic studies implicate multiple helminth (parasitic worm) species and their secreted products in improving insulin sensitivity and in modulating β‑cell autoimmunity...
