We shall explore genetic function by a combination of genetic and functional assays. First, via expression profiling, we intend to determine which genes for mitochondrial proteins are altered in pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. This will be performed in material from i) humans with or without the disease, ii) in genetically or pharmacologically manipulated animals an

To accomplish these goals we will: A) establish the stimulus-secretion coupling in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic organ donors to obtain proof of concepts derived from rodent studies; these data will also establish the gold standard for efforts to differentiate embryonic stem cells into mature islet cells.

PI: Nils Wierup The emergence of morbidly obese patients has prompted novel approaches to achieve weight reduction. Given that energy reduction by dieting is largely unsuccessful in this paitent group, surgical procedures have instead been developed to dramatically restrict food intake. Indeed, over the course of months patients may loose up to 50% in body weight. In addition, the majority of pati

PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals).

New drug targetsWe have in the different sections tested a number of pathways as putative new drug targets including exploring the role of TXNIP for the development of glucotoxicity in β-cells, muscle and kidney and the role of glucokinase in the β-cells. We have also explored the role of Ncf1 in thymus mediated control of tolerance. Potentially, all studied pathways can include regulatory steps w
