MAFB is essential for the maintenance of adult human α-cell identity and glucagon secretion

Katie Colbert Coate, Jinhua Liu, Min Guo…·Roland W. Stein

This study shows that MAFB is essential for maintaining adult human α-cell identity and function, linking its downregulation to impaired glucagon secretion and mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetes.

Diabetes-associated MYT1 and MYT3 regulate human beta-cell insulin secretion and survival via other diabetes-risk genes

Ruiying Hu, Nala Hamilton, Yu Wang…·Guoqiang Gu

This study shows MYT1 and ST18 regulate human beta-cell survival and insulin secretion under normal and stress conditions, with their genes enriched for T2D-risk loci.
