Original Article: Pancreatic Beta Cell Dedifferentiation as a Mechanism of Diabetic Beta Cell Failure.
Talchai et al. Cell, 2012. 150 (6) p. 1223-1234.
A University of Oregon graduate student’s discovery could someday lead to new treatments for the nearly 1.5 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes. The research, led by Jennifer Hampton Hill in the UO lab of biologist Karen Guillemin, was detailed in a paper published in the journal eLife on Dec. 13, 2016.
A professor in the UO’s Department of Biology and the Institute of Molecular Biology who also serves as director of the META Center for Systems Biology, Guillemin examines the role bacteria play in animal development and disease. She uses a research model she helped develop involving a special kind of sterile zebrafish that don’t have any internal or external microbes of their own — no microbiome, making them germ-free — so scientists can better determine the role those microbes play as animals grow.
Having studied the pancreas and its importance to metabolism, and knowing that host metabolism can be strongly influenced by microbes, Hampton Hill naturally developed an interest in the role of bacteria in pancreatic development, which Guillemin encouraged.

Phosphorus is a mineral found in almost all foods. It works with calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones healthy. Healthy kidneys keep the right amount of phosphorus in your body. When your kidneys are not working well, phosphorus can build up in your blood. Too much phosphorus in your blood can lead to weak bones that break easily.
Many people with kidney disease need to limit phosphorus.
Depending on your stage of kidney disease, your doctor may also prescribe a medicine called a phosphate binder. This helps to keep phosphorus from building up in your blood. A phosphate binder can be helpful, but you will still need to watch how much phosphorus you eat. Ask your doctor if a phosphate binder is right for you. Video Rating: / 5
