β cell dysfunction with subsequent apoptosis is considered a significant contributor to the development of type 2 diabetes. Emerging data from Talchai et al. suggest β cell dedifferentiation as an alternative mechanism of insulin insufficiency that might be more amenable to intervention in at least a subset of patients.
β 细胞功能障碍随后发生细胞凋亡被认为是导致 2 型糖尿病发生的重要因素。Talchai 等人的新数据表明,β 细胞去分化是胰岛素分泌不足的另一种机制,至少在一部分患者中,这种机制可能更容易干预。
