Researchers from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) have made a major advance by identifying a new drug target that is able to stimulate beta cell growth.

In association with pharmaceutical company Roche, scientists have found that inhibiting a protein known as Bace2 can play a crucial role in regulating and encouraging the growth of pancreatic beta cells, a key goal in diabetes research.
