Research project funded by NIDDK to study insulin signaling loss in pancreas compartments as a key mechanism in diabetic exocrine pancreatopathy, aiming to develop diabetes therapies.
Description
The project involves studying the impact of insulin on exocrine tissue function, pancreatic microvasculature, and neural coordination in the context of diabetes. The research aims to elucidate mechanisms that could lead to therapeutic developments for diabetes.
