Unique mechanism protects pancreatic cells from inflammation in mice
News Release 31-Jul-2024 Peer-Reviewed PublicationUniversity of Cologne Researchers from the University of Cologne have revealed a mechanism protecting pancreatic β-cells, which are crucial for insulin production from inflammatory cell death. The study investigated the role of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) in regulating β-cell survival. Typically, this protein controls cell fate by balancing survival and...
