Welcome!
Impairment and/or loss of pancreatic islet beta cells are at the origin of all forms of diabetes, leading to increased blood glucose levels. Scientists of the Institute for Pancreatic Islet Research (IPI/PLID) are working to decipher the causal mechanisms for these deficiencies with the aim of developing new approaches to protect or restore beta cell function and viability.
