The single-cell approach enabled them to identify gene expression in rare cell types, highlighting a previously unrecognized role for these cells in diabetes.
University of Cambridge researchers found that people who learned their genetic risk of developing diabetes did not have increased motivation to make lifestyle changes.
The effort aims to identify a suite of markers that could aid in management of type II diabetes and related conditions like retinopathy and kidney damage.
Researchers saw both short- and long-term changes in metabolite profiles in blood plasma from individuals who'd undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.
Being born premature shouldn't mean infants with high blood sugar levels don't undergo genetic testing for neonatal diabetes, a study in Pediatrics says.
The core technology uses proximity-ligated amplification and the firm will build it into tests for type I diabetes as well as highly multiplexed assays.
