NFAT dysregulation by increased dosage of DSCR1 and DYRK1A on chromosome 21

TL;DR: It is suggested that the 1.5-fold increase in dosage of DSCR1 and DYRK1A cooperatively destabilizes a regulatory circuit, leading to reduced NFATc activity and many of the features of Down's syndrome, and the destabilization of regulatory circuits can underlie human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth inhibitors promote differentiation of insulin-producing tissue from embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that embryonic stem cells can serve as the source of insulin-producing replacement tissue in an experimental model of diabetes mellitus and that strategies for producing cells that can replace islet functions described here can be adapted for similar uses with human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcineurin/NFAT signalling regulates pancreatic β-cell growth and function

TL;DR: Calcineurin/NFAT signalling regulates multiple factors that control growth and hallmark β-cell functions, revealing unique models for the pathogenesis and therapy of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Menin Controls Growth of Pancreatic ß-Cells in Pregnant Mice and Promotes Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: It is shown that menin, a protein previously characterized as an endocrine tumor suppressor and transcriptional regulator, controls islet growth in pregnant mice, expanding the understanding of mechanisms underlying diabetes pathogenesis and revealing potential targets for therapy in diabetes.
