Diabetes: the fragile beta cell model

In the current issue of Trends in Molecular Medicine, we put forward the evidence for and against the beta cell fragility model, where innate defects in beta cell survival drive both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Very well explained the risk of beta cell fragility in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
