Tipping-point transition from transient to persistent inflammation in pancreatic islets
2024-03-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with a systemic increase in the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. While transient exposure to low IL-1β concentrations improves insulin secretion and β-cell proliferation in pancreatic islets, prolonged exposure leads to impaired insulin secretion and collective β-cell death. IL-1 is secreted locally by islet-resident macrophages and β-cells; however it is unkn...
