Assistant professor to the Department of Molecular Science, Dr. Sara Reyna, explains what it will mean to complete the first step of the project, the mouse animal model, by summer of this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]\u201cAs far as the animal part, we are almost done generating the first animal model. So those studies are hopefully as planned to be scheduled of may this summer so we can start looking at the actual physiology. So, we are going to study: when we delete this protein from this animal, in the macrophages which are very well involved with development of insulin resistance and the inflation. When we give these animals a high fed diet, are they going to have less information? Therefore, less insulin resistance, therefore less diabetes. So, progress is moving along.\u201d<br>-Dr. Sara Reyna, assistant professor[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nursing sophomore, Salma Anguiano says she is hopeful that the department will complete its research before the grant comes to an end on March 31st, 2021.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]\u201cI believe so, they have a lot of technology and information and there&#8217;s a lot of things that they can use.\u201d <br>-Salma Anguiano, nursing sophomore[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The School of Medicine is looking into future potential research for future grants, with the current diabetes type two research project.
