This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) provides $2,155,558.00 in funding to the Joslin Diabetes Center, Inc. to study the mechanisms underlying glucose toxicity and its impact on insulin biosynthesis and secretion in beta cells. The goal is to identify novel therapeutic targets to prevent progressive beta-cell failure in diabetes and improve the functionality of ex vivo generated beta cells for cell replacement therapy. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to May 2027, will test the hypothesis that glucose toxicity leads to alterations in mRNA-specific beta-cell translation, mediated by properties of the mRNAs and dynamic ribosome remodeling, contributing to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. This research has the potential to advance the understanding and treatment of diabetes by providing insights into the translational dysregulation underlying beta-cell dysfunction.
