朊病毒是一类“阴险”的蛋白,会像传染性病原体一样扩散并且引发诸如疯牛病等致死性疾病。新研究显示,一种和糖尿病相关的蛋白同它们拥有一些相似之处。研究人员通过向小鼠体内注射这种蛋白,将糖尿病从一只小鼠传播到另一只小鼠身上,结果并未表明糖尿病具有像感冒一样的感染性,但输血甚至是食物都有可能传播这种疾病。未参加此
Prions are a type of “sinister” protein that spreads like infectious pathogens and triggers lethal diseases such as mad cow disease. New research shows that one type of diabetes-related protein shares some similarities with them. By injecting this protein into mice, the researchers spread diabetes from one mouse to another and the results do not show that diabetes has the same cold as infectious, but blood transfusions and even food are likely to spread This disease.
