Abstract excerpt
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and inflammatory stress responses contribute to islet dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Comprehensive genomic understanding of these human islet stress responses and whether T2D-associated genetic variants modulate them is lacking. Here, comparative transcriptome and epigenome analyses of human islets exposed ex vivo to these stressors revealed 30% of expressed genes and 14% of...
