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...

Brief Summary: This study examined resistance to thyroid hormone (TH)-induced tachycardia in patients with Resistance to THα (RTHα). This rare condition is caused by mutations in the TH receptor alpha (TRα1), and leads to hypothyroidism in TRα1-expressing tissues, including the heart. While high doses of thyroxine (T4) are typically used to treat this condition, patients with RTHα do not exhibit the expected increase in heart rate despite overcoming ti...

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 ...

The findings challenge the current dogma that osteoclasts primarily differentiate from hematopoietic progenitor cells and a...
