Protein encourages beta-cell reproduction in the pancreas

A professor in the UO’s Department of Biology and the Institute of Molecular Biology who also serves as director of the META Center for Systems Biology, Guillemin examines the role bacteria play in animal development and disease. She uses a research model she helped develop involving a special kind of sterile zebrafish that don’t have any internal or external microbes of their own - no microbiome, making them germ-free - so scientists can better determine the role those microbes play as animals grow.

Having studied the pancreas and its importance to metabolism, and knowing that host metabolism can be strongly influenced by microbes, Hampton Hill naturally developed an interest in the role of bacteria in pancreatic development, which Guillemin encouraged.
A University of Oregon graduate student's discovery could someday lead to new treatments for the nearly 1.5 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes. The research, led by Jennifer Hampton Hill in the UO lab of biologist Karen Guillemin, was detailed in a paper published in the journal eLife on Dec. 13, 2016.

If it's potential is to help people, then expect that Big Pharma will shut down and ignore this research.

It's related with polypepide (protein) which amino acids is structured of polypepide that reverse from diabetes

What is the name of the bacteria?

[@uoregon]

Check out the article (link in description). It has more details that should be able to answer your question. The bacterial protein they discovered is named Beta Cell Expansion Factor A.

Cytotoxic

I am type 1 daibetes patient since last 5-6 years and have to take insulin twice a day, Can this protein redevelop my beta cells ? can i have normal life again without injection ?

[@richardgonza2154]

Watch it. I’m into a few weeks nothing but vegetables. No breads or crackers no carbs or sugars I’m gonna go to ketosis to burn fat hopefully trigger the beta cells. But this takes months almost a year. Wish me luck

@@richardgonza2154 me too bro my sugar reading at night(without insulin) came out to be 201mg/dl
I'm type 1

From Mumbai In My case chicken pox virus and Vitamin D deficiency are the main culprits . It looks like cause of virus (any) , immune system starts using Vitamin D to tackle it resulting into Vitamin D deficiency which leads to Autoimmunity resulting into T1D. So main culprit Vitamin D Deficiency.

@@richardgonza2154 Nice to see people trying different things. Im doing a pretty strict carnivore with intermittent fasting to see what happens to my C-peptide. Im 28 years old and have been a diagnosed type 1 diabetic for about 13 years. I had a C-peptide of 0,1 nmol/L but since doing KETO it bumped to 0,2 nmol/L. Stopped taking insulin completely at the beginning of the year and my glucose stayed within a range of 5,5-10 mmol/L all until I started eating more vegetables (therefore I stopped eating vegetables + I don't enjoy eating them). I want to let my glucose be a bit on the higher side now since I read a study of beta cell replication speed in mice where it went a lot faster for mice with minor hyperglycaemia (about 9mmol/L).
Now I eat more meat than before and load up on butter/animal fats, once a day to get a minor hyperglycaemia while doing OMAD and it's going smoothly I would say.
Please comment/share the results of your vegan experiment if it works out for your beta cells!
