abstract：:In insulin resistant states such as type 2 diabetes, there is a high demand on the β-cell to synthesize and secrete insulin, which challenges the ability of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to synthesize and fold nascent proteins. This creates a state of ER stress that triggers a coordinated program referred to as the u...
