The role of protein kinase C delta in beta-cell death and dysfunction in type 1 diabetes

The goal of this study is identify novel mechanisms of immune-mediated β-cell death and dysfunction such that these mechanisms can be exploited to protect against the onset and progression of T1D. To achieve this goal, we propose the following aims: 1) Determine if reduced electrical coupling, altered calcium signaling, and activation of protein kinase C […]
