Restoring connexin-36 function in diabetogenic environments precludes mouse and human islet dysfunction

The secretion of insulin from β-cells in the islet of Langerhans is governed by a series of metabolic and electrical events, which can fail during the progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). β-cells are electrically coupled via connexin-36 (Cx36) gap junction channels, which coordinates the pulsatile...
