Abstract:
Pancreatic islet β-cell mass is regulated by β-cell replication, nengenesis, apnptosis and cell size. β-cetl mass in diahetic patients is conspicuously less than that in normal subjects. Induction of β-cell regeneration and inhibition of β-cell apoptosis is the new target of diabetes treatment.
