Findings shed light on the cellular mechanisms causing insulin resistance

Credit: Diabetes (2024). DOI: 10.2337/db23-0802 Recent research published in the journal Diabetes sheds new light on the cellular mechanisms causing insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, a disease affecting more than 1.2 million people in Quebec alone. Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition for which there is no cure yet, making it a chronic condition. It is characterized by a reduction in the ability of cells to respond to insulin. This is known as insulin resistance. The cellular mechanisms causing insulin resistance are far from fully understood, but the Ferron laboratory is committed to advancing knowledge on this front.
