Washington: Researchers led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have uncovered a new key player in amplifying stress in the earliest stages of diabetes: a molecule called thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP).
At its most fundamental level, diabetes is a disease characterized by stress?microscopic stress that causes inflammation and the loss of insulin production in the pancreas, and system-wide stress due to the loss of that blood-sugar-regulating hormone.
The molecule, they?ve discovered, is central to the inflammatory process that leads to the death of the cells in the human pancreas that produce insulin.
