Our main research focus is to unravel molecular mechanisms ensuring 尾-cell function. Our research efforts involves analyses of the molecular mechanisms by which hyperglycemia negatively affects 尾-cell function and provokes impaired insulin secretion and amyloid formation. We are also analyzing the mechanisms by which the compound O304/ATX-304, an activator of AMPK and a mitochondrial uncoupler, negates the negative impacts of hyperglycemia on 尾-cell function and thus restores 尾-cell function.
