Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of ALDH1A3 as a treatment of β-cell failure

β-cell dedifferentiation is a key feature of type 2 diabetes. Here, the authors show evidence of re-differentiation of de-differentiated β-cells and identify ALDH1A3 as a key player in this process, proposing inhibition of ALDH1A3 as a treatment method for β-cell dysfunction in diabetes.
