Japanese researchers said on Thursday they had moved a step closer to an oral treatment for diabetes, offering hope of a breakthrough against a disease racking an increasingly obese world.
Scientists at the University of Tokyo said they have created a compound that helps the body to control glucose in the bloodstream.
