This study shows that TYK2 inhibitors reduce islet inflammation and delay type 1 diabetes onset in mice by modulating immune and endocrine responses.

This study shows that miR-146a-5p overexpression in beta cells under inflammatory stress causes mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, while its inhibition reverses these effects.

This study shows cigarette smoke exposure impairs β-cell function through oxidative stress and ceramide accumulation, with effects persisting after smoking cessation.
