Aging-related diseases like type 2 diabetes are linked to problems in how cells make and manage proteins. University of Michigan researchers found that another part of the cell, the mitochondria, also builds up misfolded proteins in insulin-producing cells, leading to cell damage. This discovery could help lead to new treatments by restoring the cell’s ability to remove these faulty proteins. Read the full article to learn what this could mean for diabetes care.
