Rehovot, Israel, November 26, 2001 (ScienceDaily) -- A team of researchers led by Prof. Irun Cohen of the Weizmann Institute of Science has developed a unique approach for halting the progression of Type I (juvenile or insulin-dependent) diabetes. Cohen and Dr. Dana Elias (then a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute) discovered that injecting mice with a small peptide fragment known as p277 prevents the progression of Type I diabetes. Based on the results of his research, Peptor, a biopharmaceutical company from Rehovot, Israel, developed DiaPep277, an experimental drug designed to prevent or treat Type I diabetes.

INNSBRUCK, Austria, June 19, 2001 (ScienceDaily) -– Duke University Medical Center researchers reported Friday that specially encapsulated insulin-producing pancreas cells from pigs have kept a diabetic baboon from needing insulin for more than nine months. If this approach continues to show success in similar experimental models, the researchers believe that trials involving humans with insulin-dependant diabetes could begin within a year.
