Novel Human Insulin Cα-Peptide as an Antagonist for Islet and Brain Amyloidosis

Abstract: Over 32 million Americans are living with Diabetes and newly diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is increasing. A defining feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the accumulation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) fibrils in pancreatic islets. Such accumulations form amyloid plaques, referred to as islet amyloidosis. Mounting...

Natural product-based anti-cancer agents: aza-Englerin analogues

Abstract: Chemotherapy resistance in a wide array of cancers is often associated with enhanced glucose uptake and dysregulation of the insulin signaling pathway. Therapeutics capable of inhibiting insulin signaling would be valuable as a stand-alone treatment and for sensitizing resistant tumors to standard chemotherapy regiments. Researchers at NCI’s...

Novel Roles of a DNA Repair Protein, DNA-PKcs, in Obesity, Neurological Function, and Aging

The catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex (DNA-PKcs) has been shown to be important in DNA repair and VDJ recombination in lymphocytes. The inventors have discovered that DNA-PKcs also plays novel, important roles in energy regulation and neurological function. The inventors observed that mature DNA-PKcs-deficient mice (also...
