Loss of Beta‐Cell Identity and Function as a Mechanism of Secondary Failure of Sulfonylurea Therapy in Diabetes

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sulfonylureas, commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), often lose effectiveness over time when used as monotherapy; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate the mechanisms of sulfonylurea failure, glibenclamide‐releasing pellets were implanted in KK mice, a polygenic model that spontaneously develops T2D. KK mice

Diabetes management in maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD): A review and a proposed treatment algorithm

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 826-839, February 2026.
Abstract Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a mitochondrial disorder usually caused by the variant m.3243A>G in the MT‐TL1 gene. We have proposed that diabetes in MIDD arises from a combination of insulin resistance and impaired β‐cell function that is more likely to occur in the presence of high skeletal muscle heteroplasmy and ...

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...
