Abstract Background/Aim Diabetes has substantive co‐occurrence with disorders of gut‐brain interactions (DGBIs). The pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms linking diabetes DGBIs are unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) key regulators gut dysmotility. We investigated whether impaired barrier function is regulated by a miRNA, miR‐10b‐5p, Methods created new mouse line using the Mb3Cas12a/Mb3Cpf1 endonuclease to delete mir‐10b globally. Loss studies in knockout (KO) mice were conducted...
Diabetic foot ulcers are a common complication in diabetes, leading to high amputation risk and significant healthcare costs. Given topical timolol's emergence as potential wound-healing agent, our study explored its impact on epidermal integrity. This was post-hoc analysis conducted part of randomized controlled trial at the Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System. Twenty patients who had diabetic healed original trial, 10 timolol arm placebo arm, were enrolled study. The...
The current healthcare system disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, leading to disparities in health outcomes. As a result, medical schools need equip future physicians with the tools identify and address disparities. University of Nevada, Reno School Medicine implemented Scholarly Concentration Medical Social Justice (SCiMSJ) program this issue. Three students joined pioneered project equitable vaccine distribution within local Hispanic/Latinx community. After identifying...
