Article Synopsis
- The β-cells in the pancreas are crucial for insulin production and are affected by factors like obesity and insulin resistance, leading to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
- β-cell dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation, where these cells lose their specialized functions and change into other cell types, significantly worsen T2D more than just the loss of β-cells.
- Research is focusing on understanding the mechanisms of this dedifferentiation process and exploring potential treatments that could target it to better manage T2D.
