β-cell dysfunctional ERAD/ubiquitin/proteasome system in type 2 diabetes mediated by islet amyloid polypeptide-induced UCH-L1 deficiency. [PDF]
ObjectiveThe islet in type 2 diabetes is characterized by β-cell apoptosis, β-cell endoplasmic reticulum stress, and islet amyloid deposits derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP).

The role of macrophages in obesity-associated islet inflammation and β-cell abnormalities. [PDF]
Chronic, unresolved tissue inflammation is a well-described feature of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other insulin-resistant states. In this context, adipose tissue and liver inflammation have been particularly well studied; however ...

Islet Amyloid Polypeptide: A Partner in Crime With Aβ in the Pathology of Alzheimer's Disease
Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. Despite the advances in understanding the disease and therapeutic options, it remains a leading cause of death and of comorbidities globally.

High plasma levels of islet amyloid polypeptide in young with new-onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
Aims/hypothesisIslet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a beta cell hormone secreted together with insulin upon glucose stimulation. IAPP participates in normal glucose regulation, but IAPP is also known for its ability to misfold and form islet amyloid ...

Loss of β-cell function and β-cell death is the key feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). One hypothesis for the mechanism of this feature is amyloid formation by the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus as a prion disease (literature review)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common endocrine disease characterized by impaired insulin, hyperglycemia and chronic insulin resistance due to dysfunction and loss of β-cells of the islets of Largenhans.

Interspecies Variation Affects Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Membrane Binding. [PDF]
The aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is associated with β-cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans. One possible mechanism of toxicity is the interaction of IAPP oligomers with lipid membranes to disrupt the bilayer integrity and/or homeostasis of the cell.

β-Cell failure in type 2 diabetes: a case of asking too much of too few? [PDF]
The islet in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is characterized by a deficit in β-cells, increased β-cell apoptosis, and extracellular amyloid deposits derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). In the absence of longitudinal studies, it is unknown if the low β-

Dynamics of the formation of a hydrogel by a pathogenic amyloid peptide: islet amyloid polypeptide [PDF]
Many chronic degenerative diseases result from aggregation of misfolded polypeptides to form amyloids. Many amyloidogenic polypeptides are surfactants and their assembly can be catalysed by hydrophobic-hydrophilic interfaces (an air-water interface in ...

Type 2 diabetes is associated with islet amyloid deposits derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) expressed by β-cells. Here the authors show that IAPP misfolded protein stress induces the hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha injury repair pathway and ...
