Using Emerging Techniques to Identify Novel Islet Signatures in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Though the pancreatic islets are known to play critical roles in both Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D), the distinct mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent findings demonstrate that chemical heterogeneity exists within the classic islet endocrine cell types, even in the normal/healthy pancreas setting. For example, there are subtypes of beta cells […]
