[NAEP] Canadian scientists reverse diabetes in mice

[Dawn Wiseman]

Researchers working on a "breakthrough" discovery that identifies the 
role of pain nerves in the cells that produce insulin have prevented 
and reversed diabetes in mice.

The work "led us to fundamentally new insights into the mechanisms of 
this disease," Dr. Michael Salter, co-principal investigator, said in 
a release Thursday that characterized the findings as a breakthrough.
