This means that research done in the neuroscience space may be increasingly implemented for diabetes. Neurogenic mechanisms have already been implicated in curing diabetes which will begin clinical testing soon (see previous MaRS blog, “Canadian Team Makes Stunning Diabetic Breakthrough”).

Depending on the policies at Sickkids, I'm guessing that Sickkids would own at least part and the rest might be shared between the assignees.

The first discovery, in 1920, elucidated insulin’s central role in diabetes. The most recent discovery, also from the University of Toronto, has found a strong link between diabetes, pain nerves, and inflammation. Researchers were able to prevent and even reverse diabetes in mice modulating the neuroinflammatory mechanism without any serious side effects.

Who owns the rights? I'd imagine Innovations wouldn't permit such a disclosure without doing so first, but stranger things have happened. I somehow doubt they will follow in the footsteps of Banting and Best, selling the rights for $1, making it accessible to all. Gone are the days of such nobility me thinks. Did they patent it?
