A metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver acinus biomimetic induces pancreatic islet dysfunction in a coupled microphysiology system
Abstract Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that lipid-induced hepatic insulin resistance is a primary defect that predisposes to dysfunction in islets, implicating a perturbed liver-pancreas axis underlying the comorbidity of T2DM and MASLD. To investigate this hypothesis, we developed a huma...
