Uusi kuvantamismenetelmä diabeteksen soluhoitojen tehon ja turvallisuuden tutkimiseen. Menetelmän avulla voidaan määrittää siirteiden kokoa ja laatua, mikä parantaa diabeteksen solukorvaushoitojen turvallisuutta ja tehokkuutta.

Kudos to Hossam Montaser for exploring the diabetes phenotype in MEDS1 syndrome (Microcephaly, Epilepsy, and Diabetes Syndrome-1)! doi.org/10.2337/db24-0… Our previous work on MEDS2 (doi.org/10.1172/JCI141…) found a similar phenotype, though with much less mechanistic detail.
