TCF2 Attenuates FFA-Induced Damage in Islet β-Cells by Regulating Production of Insulin and ROS

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are cytotoxic to pancreatic islet β-cells and play a crucial role in the diabetes disease process. A recent study revealed a down-regulation of transcription factor 2 (TCF2) levels during FFA-mediated cytotoxicity in pancreatic β-cells. However, its function during this proce...
