Summary:
Researchers have taken a potentially powerful new therapy for treating diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and other illnesses out of the test tube and into animals by demonstrating it restores nerve and blood vessel growth in mice. The research couldl lead to new strategies to develop treatments for patients with diabetes, a disease that damages both nerves and blood vessels.
Commentary: Hopefully this study can eventually be translated into effective treatments for diabetes in humans and lead to improved quality of life for diabetes patients.
