The Hidden Driver of Diabetes: A Protein's Perilous Path The notion that diabetes is a straightforward disease of insulin resistance has been slowly unraveling in recent years, as research reveals the complex interplay between genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Type 2 diabetes, in particular, involves multiple contributing factors.
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences sheds light on a crucial aspect of the disease's pathology: the misfolding of insulin producing proteins.
