Cell protein discovery may lead to diabetes cure
A new study has uncovered a small protein inside the mitochondria that could be key to curing type 2 diabetes, especially for people carrying a genetic variation that hampers its production. Research shows that the protein MENTSH functions differently in muscles and fat tissues, activating insulin pathways in muscles while inhibiting them in fat tissue, thereby improving insulin response and reducing fat accumulation. These findings suggest that this protein could help correct metabolic imbalances and serve as a target for precise treatments for the disease, although studies are still in the preclinical stage.
