MicroRNAs: 'ribo-regulators' of glucose homeostasis (original) (raw)

Nature Medicine volume 12, pages 36–38 (2006)Cite this article

Insulin secretion regulates glucose homeostasis and its dysregulation causes type 2 diabetes. Short noncoding microRNAs have now been shown to control exocytosis, the final event in insulin secretion. This discovery opens potential perspectives for diabetes therapy.
