NIH grant awarded to Columbia University Health Sciences to study mechanisms of beta-cell failure in diabetes, focusing on genetic and cellular pathways to develop therapeutic targets.
Description
Research to understand why endocrine beta-cells in the pancreas of diabetic patients fail, aiming to identify new genetic, biochemical, and cellular pathways for therapeutic targets to prevent and reverse diabetes. The project has led to discoveries about beta-cell failure stages and regulatory mechanisms.
