Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic beta cells play a central role in regulating glucose homeostasis by secreting the hormone insulin. Failure of beta cells due to reduced function and mass and the resulting insulin insufficiency can drive the dysregulation of glycemic control, causing diabetes. Epigenetic regulation by DNA methylation is central to shaping the gene expression patterns that define the fully functional beta cell phenotype...
