A study has found a new way to regenerate insulin-producing cells to treat diabetes in the form of MNK2 protein. The MNK2 protein could serve as a source of insulin for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
A novel possible treatment target for diabetes has been identified by a Swedish researcher. In zebrafish larvae, laboratory pigs, and human cell cultures, inhibition of the protein MNK2 led to the regeneration of pancreatic insulin-producing cells.
