Loss of functional β-cells is a primary mechanism of type 2 diabetes creating an acute need for understanding how β-cell number and function are regulated in adults under normal physiological conditions. Recent studies suggest a role for TGFβ family ligands in regulating β-cell function and glucose homeostasis. These ligands might influence β-cell proliferation and/or incorporation of new β-cells from progenitors in adults. Soluble antagonists of these ligands also appear to have important roles in regulating ligand activity to maintain homeostasis. These studies suggest that the coordinated activity of several TGFβ ligands might have important regulatory actions in adult β-cells and raise the possibility of developing new therapies for diabetes based on using agonists or antagonists of these ligands.
