ARC is essential for maintaining pancreatic islet structure and β-cell viability during type 2 diabetes
Abstract Pancreatic β-cell loss through apoptosis is an important disease mechanism in type 2 diabetes. Apoptosis Repressor with CARD (ARC) is a cell death inhibitor that antagonizes multiple death programs. We previously reported that ARC is abundant in pancreatic β-cells and modulates survival of...
