Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a beta-cell peptide hormone that forms toxic and pro-inflammatory aggregates in pathological states, including T2D and islet transplants. Recent evidence suggests the presence of fibrillar aggregates of IAPP (islet amyloid) in some T1D pancreatic islets. In T2D and mouse models of islet amyloid formation, aggregates of human IAPP recruit and […]
