Century-Old Mystery May Hold the Key to Diabetic Nerve Pain

A little-known cellular structure called the Nageotte nodule—first described over 100 years ago—has been identified as a key feature of diabetic neuropathy in new research. These nodules, made of decayed sensory neurons and support cells, were found in abundance in the sensory ganglia of diabetic organ donors.

Supplementation With Amino Acid Serine Eases Diabetes Associated Neuropathy

Lower levels of serine and glycine were associated with a higher risk of neuropathic pain in mouse models of diabetes. Supplementing the diets of the mice with serine reduced symptoms of neuropathy. Researchers say the findings provide a new way in which to identify people at risk of diabetic neuropathy and a potential treatment option.
