Lentiviral Gene Therapy Vectors Encoding VIP Suppressed Diabetes-Related Inflammation and Augmented Pancreatic Beta-Cell Proliferation

The authors suggest the observed therapeutic effect of lentiviral vector carrying VIP gene was due to the repression of diabetes-induced inflammation, its insulinotropic properties, and VIP-induced beta-cell proliferation.

Genome-Scale In Vivo CRISPR Screen Identifies RNLS as a Target for Beta Cell Protection in Type 1 Diabetes

Using a genome-scale CRISPR screen in a mouse model for type 1 diabetes (T1D), researchers showed that deleting RNLS, a genome-wide association study candidate gene for T1D, made beta cells resistant to autoimmune killing.
