血糖水平升高(高血糖症)可以诱导胰腺β细胞死亡,这一理论早已是公开的秘密了,胰腺β细胞的死亡往往是引发糖尿病发病的基础,然而具体的发病机制以及原因至今研究人员并不清楚。近日,刊登于国际杂志The FASEB Journal上的一项研究报告中,来自首尔基础科学研究所的研究人员发现,一种名为TSPAN2的蛋白质或许在高血糖症诱导胰腺β细胞死亡上扮演着重要 The theory that elevated blood glucose (hyperglycemia) can induce pancreatic β-cell death has long been an open secret that the death of pancreatic β-cells is often the basis for the onset of diabetes, but the exact pathogenesis and cause of this Not clear. Recently, a study published in the International Journal of the FASEB Journal, researchers from Seoul Institute of Basic Science found that a protein called TSPAN2 may play an important role in the induction of pancreatic β-cell death in hyperglycaemia
