Proinflammatory Cytokines Mediate Pancreatic Ξ²-Cell–Specific Alterations to Golgi Integrity via iNOS-Dependent Mitochondrial Inhibition Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the selective autoimmune ablation of pancreatic Ξ²-cells. Emerging evidence reveals Ξ²-cell secretory dysfunction arises e

Excited to share a new study from the lab published in Diabetes. This was amazing work performed by Sandra Blom!
