In pre-clinical models, activation of these receptors has proven to actually prevent diabetes. Career Development Awards are highly competitive and bestowed upon only a handful of people each year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe goal of Huising&#8217;s study, entitled &#8220;Urocortin 3 Marks Mature Beta Cells and Prevents Diabetes,&#8221; is to understand how this protection against diabetes is accomplished. &#8220;Despite years of research,&#8221; he says, &#8220;significant gaps remain in our understanding of the way the islet receives and integrates signals from a wide variety of sources. We envision that among these networks of signaling molecules remain plenty that are unknown and can lead to novel strategies to treat or cure Type 1 diabetes.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nType 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Although the condition, which usually appears during childhood or adolescence, can be managed, it&#8217;s a daily juggling act. Food, exercise and insulin must be carefully balanced with scheduled blood sugar checks and insulin injections. A diagnosis of diabetes is also a major risk factor for such later complications as cardiac failure, kidney problems and lower limb amputations. To date, Type 1 diabetes has no cure, making Huising&#8217;s research all the more exciting. <\/p>\n<p>\nHuising received his doctorate in biology at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Currently working in the <a href=\"\/es\/faculty\/clayton_foundation_laboratories_for_peptide_biology.html\/\">Laboratorios de la Fundaci\u00f3n Clayton para la Biolog\u00eda de los P\u00e9ptidos<\/a> at the Salk Institute, Huising and his team study the actions of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urocortins in the pancreas. Urocortin 3, a peptide related to CRF, is abundantly expressed by mature beta cells and makes important contributions to the regulation of insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe JDRF is the leading global organization funding Type 1 diabetes research. The foundation currently sponsors $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries and emphasizes seeking researchers &#8220;who will bridge the gap between the bench and bedside.&#8221; The primary purpose of the Career Development Award is to &#8220;attract qualified and promising scientists early in their faculty careers and to give them the opportunity to establish themselves&#8221; in areas pertinent to diabetes research.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nAcerca del Instituto Salk de Estudios Biol\u00f3gicos:<\/strong><br \/>El Instituto Salk de Estudios Biol\u00f3gicos es una de las instituciones de investigaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica m\u00e1s destacadas del mundo, donde un cuerpo docente de prestigio internacional investiga cuestiones fundamentales de las ciencias de la vida en un entorno \u00fanico, colaborativo y creativo.
