Brief summary: In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial conducted in 6 US centres, 88 children and adolescents (aged 7–17 years) with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) were randomized to either once-daily oral verapamil or placebo, within 1 month from diagnosis. Treatment with verapamil led to better stimulated C-peptide secretion at 52 weeks post-diagnosis, with levels 30% higher compared to placebo.Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker...

Nature 2020; 583: 596–602https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2499-yIn order to understand the cellular processes that underlie ageing, the authors performed plasma proteomics at 10 different ages across the lifespan of the mouse. They integrated these data with a parallel large study published alongside this paper in the same edition (1), which describes the ‘Mouse ...

Cell. 2021 Mar 4;184(5):1330–1347.e13 Abstract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33636130/In brief: This paper reports an alternative cell fate for multinucleated, bone-resorbing osteoclasts and shows that they may undergo fission into smaller osteomorphs. The findings challenge the current dogma that osteoclasts primarily differentiate from hematopoietic progenitor cells and a...
