An accomplice more than a mere victim: The impact of β-cell ER stress on type 1 diabetes pathogenesis

Background: Pancreatic β-cells are the insulin factory of an organism with a mission to regulate glucose homeostasis in the body. Due to their high secretory activity, β-cells rely on a functional and intact endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Perturbations to ER homeostasis and unmitigated stress lead to β...
