Decreased cell death and increased insulin production in pancreatic beta cells with genome edit by CRISPR/Cas9

Using the CRISPR/Cas9 “gene scissors” researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an investigat
