Does epigenetic dysregulation of pancreatic islets contribute to impaired insulin secretion and type 2 diabetes?
4 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
β cell dysfunction is central to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D develops when β cells are not able to compensate for the increasing demand for insulin caused by insulin resistance. Epigenetic modifications play an important role in establishing and maintaining β cell identity and function in physiological conditions. On the other hand, epigenetic dysregulation can cause a loss of β...
