Hughesair (Inflection Point)

Retired physician and air taxi operator, science writer and part time assistant professor, these editorials cover a wide range of topics. Mostly non political, mostly true, I write more from a lifetime of experience and from research, more science than convention. Subjects cover medicine, Alaska aviation, economics, technology and an occasional book review. Globalization or Democracy documents the historical roots of Oligarchy, the road to colonialism and tyranny

Type Two Diabetes (T2D)


Cell 150, 1223-1234, 2012
Domenico Accili at Columbia studying mouse Foxo1 gene discovered that pancreatic Islet β cells do not die in type-two diabetes (T2D) but revert back to endocrine progenitor cells that are unable to make insulin. This opens the possibility of treating T2D by turning these dormant cells back to normal. Once more an exciting contribution from genomics.
