A circular RNA generated from an intron of the insulin gene controls insulin secretion

Circular RNAs contribute to the regulation of β-cell specific functions. Here the authors show that a circular RNA derived from one of the introns of the insulin gene is necessary for optimal insulin secretion from pancreatic islets and that its level is reduced in the islets of diabetic subjects.
