New drug reverses diabetes in mice, boosting insulin-making cells by 700%
Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. What just happened? While there are many therapies available to treat diabetes, none have proven to completely reverse this disease. That may change as research from the Mount Sinai Health System and the City of Hope continues to progress. Researchers from these institutions have demonstrated a treatment that increases human insulin-producing beta cells in vivo for the first time, normalizing glucose levels in diabetic mice models.

Blade collapse, New York launch and New Jersey research show uneven progress of offshore wind
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Three events Wednesday highlighted the uneven progress of the offshore wind industry in the Northeast, including the start of a major project in New York, research aimed at preventing environmental damage in New Jersey, and a temporary shutdown of a wind farm in Massachusetts after a broken turbine blade washed ashore on a famous beach. The federal government ordered a wind farm operator off the coast of Nantucket in Massachusetts to suspend operations while cleanup continues after a wind turbine blade fell into the water, broke apart, and washed up on beaches at the popular vacation spot. Vineyard Wind said Wednesday that it has removed 17 cubic yards of debris, enough to fill more than six truckloads, along with several larger pieces that washed ashore. The debris was mostly non-toxic fiberglass fragments ranging in size from small pieces to larger sections, typically green or white. Vineyard Wind, a joint venture between Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, bolstered its beach patrols to 35 people looking for and removing debris.
