Core Tip |
This editorial highlights the emerging role of β-cell dedifferentiation as a central mechanism of β-cell failure in type 2 diabetes, alongside apoptosis. We emphasize recent findings that chronic metabolic stressors, namely glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity, initiate ER stress and suppress forkhead box protein O1 activity, leading to the loss of β-cell identity and function. The reversibility of this process introduces new therapeutic possibilities aimed at preserving or restoring endogenous insulin production. |
