Discovery of a drug candidate for GLIS3-associated diabetes

GLIS3 mutations are associated with type 1, type 2, and neonatal diabetes. Here, the authors generate mono-hormonal glucose-responding pancreatic β-like cells in vitro and through a screen identify a drug that rescues pancreatic β-like cell death in GLIS3 mutants by inhibiting the abnormally activat...
