Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Diabetes is a complex disease implicating several organs and cell types. Within the islets, dysregulation occurs in both alpha- and beta-cells, leading to defects of insulin secretion and increased glucagon secretion. Dysregulation of alpha-cells is associated with transcriptome changes. We hypothesized that microRNAs (miRNAs) which are negative regulators of mRNA stability and translation could be...
