Scientists have created the first comprehensive roadmap of the interactions that enable cells in the pancreas to produce, store and secrete the insulin, reports say.

The findings allow for a better understanding of the insulin secretion process?and how it fails in insulin disorders such as type 2 diabetes. Boosting or repairing insulin production and secretion is an obvious strategy for combating type 2 diabetes, however, there are few available drugs aimed at improving the efficiency of the process because so few details are known about it.

?The development of this insulin interaction map is unprecedented, and we expect it to lead us to new therapeutic approaches for type 2 diabetes,? said William E. Balch, senior author of the study.
