This grant funds research using optogenetics to mature stem cell-derived beta cells for improved type 1 diabetes therapy, supported by the Diabetes Research Connection.
This Diabetes Research Connection grant supports research into how circadian biology can improve the survival and function of transplanted stem cell-derived beta cells for type 1 diabetes therapy.
This grant supports research into how non-glucose nutrients, especially amino acids, boost human beta cell insulin secretion to advance type 1 diabetes therapies.
This grant supports research into how pregnancy drives adaptive changes in beta cell metabolism and function, aiming to inform therapies for type 1 diabetes.
Mitigating stress-related cell loss in islet replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) supports academic and industry investigators developing ways to reduce transplant cell loss for more durable therapies.
Project #76 supports Vira Kravets at UC San Diego in studying alpha cell dysfunction and immune targeting as possible triggers of type 1 diabetes, potentially informing prevention and treatment.
