The long non-coding RNA βFaar regulates islet β-cell function and survival during obesity in mice

Beta-cell function is often impaired in obesity through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here the authors show that the long noncoding RNA βFaar is reduced by diet-induced obesity in mice, which leads to impaired beta-cell function via miR-138-5p and survival via TRAF3 Interacting Protein 2.
