The structure of insulin is different among different species of animals. However, essentially it is a protein chain that is similar in many ways among animals. Human insulin is closest in structure ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) glycoproteins HLA-DQ8 and HLA-DQ2 in humans and I-A g7 in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice are the major risk factors for increased suscepti-bility to ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...
