Targeting Cellular Calcium Homeostasis to Prevent Cytokine-Mediated Beta Cell Death

Abstract Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators of islet inflammation, leading to beta cell death in type 1 diabetes. Although alterations in both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosolic free calcium levels are known to play a role in cytokine-mediated beta cell death, there are current...
