Journal ArticleDOI

Intermittent fasting preserves beta-cell mass in obesity-induced diabetes via the autophagy-lysosome pathway

TL;DR: Data show that despite continued high-fat intake, intermittent fasting restores autophagic flux in islets and improves glucose tolerance by enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, beta cell survival, and nuclear expression of NEUROG3, a marker of pancreatic regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The IRE1α–XBP1 pathway is essential for osteoblast differentiation through promoting transcription of Osterix

TL;DR: It is shown that one of the most crucial UPR mediators, inositol‐requiring protein 1α (IRE1α), and its target transcription factor X‐box binding protein 1 (XBP1), are essential for bone morphogenic protein 2‐induced osteoblast differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-edited human stem cell–derived β cells from a patient with monogenic diabetes reverse preexisting diabetes in mice

TL;DR: CRISPR-Cas9 correction of a diabetes-inducing gene variant allows for robust differentiation of autologous SC-β cells that can reverse severe diabetes in an animal model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autosomal Dominant Diabetes Arising From a Wolfram Syndrome 1 Mutation

TL;DR: A novel nonsynonymous variant (p.Trp314Arg) in the Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) gene is uncovered that segregates completely with the diabetic phenotype and represents the first compelling report of a mutation in WFS1 associated with dominantly inherited nonsyndromic adult-onset diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beta cells transfer vesicles containing insulin to phagocytes for presentation to T cells.

TL;DR: It is documents that beta cells from islets of Langerhans normally transfer some of their secretory granules to resident phagocytes, and a process whereby the contents of secretorygranules become available to the immune system.
