Defining the link between Islet prohormone accumulation and secretion in type 1 diabetes

An improved understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms contributing to insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is crucial to optimize approaches to disease prevention and treatment. Multiple groups have described increases in beta cell prohormones in individuals at different stages of T1D development, both at the level of the islet and in circulation. These findings […]
