Uridine in the pathogenesis of T1D

Blood uridine levels are elevated in T1D. However, its significance to the disease pathogenesis remains largely unexplored. Our pilot studies indicate uridine regulates glucose–stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in mouse and human islets. We will use human pancreas tissue sections and live pancreas slices to study how chronic elevation in blood uridine might affect beta cell […]
