Drosophila Melanogaster as a Model System for Studies of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Aggregation
BACKGROUND: Recent research supports that aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) leads to cell death and this makes islet amyloid a plausible cause for the reduction of beta cell mass, demonstrated in patients with type 2 diabetes. IAPP is produced by the beta cells as a prohormone, and pro...
