Legendary Dallas Cowboy defensive safety and Breakthrough T1D champion Cliff Harris has been named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Centennial Class of 2020. Harris will be inducted along with 15 other NFL greats–called some of the “greatest performers and contributors in the history of the sport”–on February 1, the night before the Super […]

Last week’s Breakthrough T1D Beta Cell Replacement Consortium enabled 57 researchers the chance to collaborate in ways that help move research forward more quickly and efficiently. This crucial network helps scientists join forces to address gaps in research, complete clinical translation, and solve technical and operational challenges to accelerate life-changing therapies for people living with […]

For 55 years, leading researchers from around the world have gathered for the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD). At this year’s meeting, from September 16-20 in Barcelona, Spain, more than 50 studies were presented by Breakthrough T1D researchers, funded now or in the past, working to find cures […]

A protein, called glucokinase (or GK), acts as a key regulator of sugar levels in the body. If blood glucose levels are deemed too high, activation of GK in the liver causes the body to use more glucose, which in turn lowers glucose levels in the blood. vTv Therapeutics has developed a GK activator, called […]
