SDRC Investigator Dr. Jonathan Long's latest research reveals how pTOS — a metabolite that surges dramatically in snake blood after a meal — may offer a novel approach to appetite regulation with implications for diabetes care.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens inside a research lab — and why it matters — this is a look behind the scenes. In Walk with Me, faculty including SDRC members C. Bertozzi, J. Wu and SK Kim talk about the questions guiding their work and the impact they hope to achieve.

Researchers discover how erythropoietin (EPO) signaling in dendritic cells (cDC1s) regulates immune tolerance, offering new pathways for treating diseases like diabetes and other autoimmune conditions.

A novel transplantation strategy resets the immune system and protects replacement islet cells, offering a path to cure Type 1 diabetes.

New research reveals Desert hedgehog signaling (Dhh) from neuroendocrine cells drives epithelial-mesenchymal feedback (EMF) signaling, protecting tissues like airways and pancreatic islets from injury, with implications for therapeutic strategies in airway damage and diabetes.

Dr. Agnieszka Czechowicz and colleagues used antibody treatment in a phase 1 clinical trial to enable blood-forming stem cell transplantation, an outcome that could pave the way for new islet replacement strategies in diabetes.
