While Tinkering With the ß-Cell... Metabolic Regulatory Mechanisms and New Therapeutic Strategies

A common feature of the two major forms of human diabetes is the partial or complete loss of insulin secretion from ß-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. In this article, we review the development of a set of tools for studying ß-cell biology and their application to understanding of fuel-mediated insulin secretion and enhancement of ß-cell survival. Insights into these basic issues are likely to be useful for the design of new drug and cell-based diabetes therapies.
