Abstract
The pandemic scale of diabetes mellitus is alarming, its complications remain devastating, and current treatments still pose a major burden on those affected and on the healthcare system as a whole. As the disease emanates from the destruction or dysfunction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells, a real cure requires their restoration and protection. An attractive strategy is to regenerate β-cells directly within the pancreas; however, while several approaches for β-cell regeneration have been proposed in the past, clinical translation has proven challenging. This review scrutinizes recent findings in β-cell regeneration and discusses their potential clinical implementation. Hereby, we aim to delineate a path for innovative, targeted therapies to help shift from 'caring for' to 'curing' diabetes.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage.
Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal.
TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
