Australian scientists have charted the path of insulin action in cells in precise detail like never before. This provides a comprehensive blueprint for understanding what goes wrong in diabetes.
The breakthrough study, conducted by Sean Humphrey and Professor David James from Sydney?s Garvan Institute of Medical Research, is now published in the early online edition of the prestigious journal Cell Metabolism.
First discovered in 1921, the insulin hormone plays a very important role in the body because it helps us lower blood sugar after a meal, by enabling the movement of sugar from the blood into cells. Until now, although scientists have understood the purpose of insulin at a broad level, they have struggled to understand exactly how it achieves its task.
