Ngabe umuthi wokugomela isifo sofuba uzoselapha isifo sikashukela?
Namuhla kunezindlela eziningi ezingabakhona zokubhekana nalolu hlobo lwesifo sikashukela, iningi lazo lisuselwa emgomeni wokucindezela amasosha omzimba abhubhisa amaseli we-insulin, noma ekwakheni kabusha umsebenzi wawo ukuze uhlelo "luwele" iseli le-beta.
Ngakho-ke ososayensi be-American Diabetes Association benza ucwaningo ngenhloso yokuthola ukuthi umuthi wokugoma osetshenziswa ekwelashweni kwesifo sofuba uthinta kanjani uhlobo lwesifo sikashukela sokuqala.
Ukuhlolwa kocwaningo, obekuhanjwa ngabantu abayi-150 abanesifo sikashukela kusukela kwabaneminyaka eyi-18 kuye kwengama-60, kukhombisa ukuthi umuthi wokugomela isifo sofuba unomphumela omuhle wokwelapha.
Udokotela wezokwelapha waseMelika, uDenise Faustman, ukholelwa ukuthi umjovo wokulwa nesifo sofuba onikezwe abantu abanesifo sikashukela 1 ungakuqeda ukubhujiswa kwama-T cell, okubhubhisa amaseli athwala ama-antigen angaphandle. Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi imijovo yokulwa nesifo sofuba, eqhutshwa njalo emavikini amabili, iyamisa ukufa kwamaseli abalulekile.
Maduze nje, kuhlelwe ukuthi kuqhubeke ucwaningo ngomjovo wokugomela i-TB kubantu abaningi abagulayo.
AmaNanoparticles - Abavikeli Beseli beBeta
Ososayensi bazamile ukudala izinhlayiya ezithi ekubunjweni nasosayizi wazo ngokunembe ngangokunokwenzeka ukuphindaphinda kwamaseli e-beta afa athinteka amasosha omzimba.
AmaNanoparticles - ama-liposomes, adalwe ngendlela yokwehla kwamanzi, embozwe ngegobolondo elincanyana elinamafutha futhi aqukethe ama-molecule wezidakamizwa, aba yinto ekuhlosiwe ngayo, ngenxa yalokho amaseli we-beta anempilo mancane kakhulu amathuba okubhujiswa amasosha omzimba, asebenzisa isikhathi sawo kumaseli we-beta wamanga.
Ngemuva kokuthola umphumela omuhle womphumela wama-nanoparticles kumaseli womuntu othathwe kwishubhu yokuhlola, ososayensi bahlela ukwenza uchungechunge lwezifundo olususelwa ekuhlolweni kweziguli ezinesifo sikashukela esizobamba iqhaza ngokuzithandela ocwaningweni.
