Abstract:Type-2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by high blood glucose due to compromised insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Beta-cells primarily comprise insulin-secreting large-dense-core-vesicles/insulin-secretory-granules (ISGs) and also multivesicular-bodies (MVBs). MVBs are vesicles of endosomal origin containing intraluminal vesicles, which upon fusion with the plasma membrane, secrete exosomes. These play a significant role in the physiology and pathology of T2D via intercellular communication. The ro… Show more
