Beta-Cell Specific Insr Deletion Promotes Insulin Hypersecretion and Improves Glucose Tolerance Prior to Global Insulin Resistance
[Nature Communications] RNA-seq of purified recombined β-cells reveals transcriptomic consequences of Insr loss, which differ between female and male mice.

IGF-1R/YAP Signaling Pathway Is Involved in Collagen V-induced Insulin Biosynthesis and Secretion in Rat Islet INS-1 Cells
[Connective Tissue Research] The protein level of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1 R), detected as the upstream molecule of Yes-associated protein (YAP), was reduced in the INS-1 cells cultured on the dishes coated with collagen V.

YY1 Regulates Glucose Homeostasis through Controlling Insulin Transcription in Pancreatic Beta Cells
[Diabetes] Following beta cell ablation of Yy1, scientists observed rapid onset of hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance and reduced beta cell mass in both neonates and adult mice.

Old Blood from Heterochronic Parabionts Accelerates Vascular Aging in Young Mice: Transcriptomic Signature of Pathologic Smooth Muscle Remodeling
[GeroScience] Researchers reanalyzed existing RNA-seq data, comparing the transcriptome in the aorta arch samples isolated from isochronic parabiont aged C57BL/6 mice.

Cullin Neddylation Inhibitor Attenuates Hyperglycemia by Enhancing Hepatic Insulin Signaling through Insulin Receptor Substrate Stabilization
[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] In vitro knockdown of either cullin 1 or cullin 3, but not other cullin members, attenuated insulin-induced insulin receptor substrate protein degradation and enhanced cellular insulin signaling activation.

Human Pluripotent Stem-Cell-Derived Islets Ameliorate Diabetes in Non-Human Primates
[Nature Medicine] Researchers generated islets from human chemically induced PSCs (hCiPSC-islets) and showed that a one-dose intraportal infusion of hCiPSC-islets into diabetic non-human primates effectively restored endogenous insulin secretion and improved glycemic control.
