Do synaptic-like mechanisms control insulin secretion?

据估计，2015年全球有4.15亿人被诊断患有糖尿病。疾病的原因之一是胰岛素分泌失调。我们已经开发了新的技术来研究胰岛素分泌，这使我们提出了一个新的分泌控制模型。该提案提出了严格测试这一模型的实验。这些结果可能会对糖尿病的理解以及未来的治疗和预防产生广泛的影响。

An estimated 415 million people world-wide were diagnosed with diabetes in 2015. One of the causal factors in disease is the dysregulation of insulin secretion. We have developed new techniques to study insulin secretion that has led us to propose a new model for secretory control. This proposal sets out experiments to critically test this model. The outcomes could have wide-reaching impact on understanding and for future treatment and prevention of the diabetes.
