The Parasite-Derived Peptide FhHDM-1 Activates the PI3K/Akt Pathway to Prevent Cytokine-Induced Apoptosis of β-Cells

Scientists showed that proteomic analyses of pancreas tissue from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice suggested that FhHDM-1 activated the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway, which was associated with β-cell metabolism, survival and proliferation.
