Sodium tungstate enhances vascularization and improves survival of transplanted insulin-producing cells in diabetes models by upregulating VEGFA and promoting endothelial cell function.

This study investigates the role of Wisp1 in glucose homeostasis using Wisp1 knockout mice, finding improved insulin sensitivity and reduced adipose inflammation but no effect on whole-body glucose tolerance.

This study shows that human fibroblasts can be directly reprogrammed into insulin-producing cells using a specific transcription factor cocktail.
