Influence of chronic hyperglycemia on the loss of the unfolded protein response in transplanted islets

Chronic hyperglycemia contributes to β-cell dysfunction in diabetes and with islet transplantation, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies demonstrate that the unfolded protein response (UPR) is critical for β-cell function. Here, we assessed the influence of hyperglycemia on UPR gene exp...
