Cuproptosis: potential new direction in diabetes research and treatment

Abstract excerpt

Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death, stems from an overabundance of copper ions infiltrating mitochondria. These ions directly engage lipoylated proteins, prompting their oligomerization and subsequent loss of iron-sulfur clusters. This sequence induces proteotoxic stress, ultimately culminating in cell death. Type 2 diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder resulting from a complex interplay of...
