Dysregulation of Dicer1 in Beta Cells Impairs Islet Architecture and Glucose Metabolism

microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in pancreas development and in regulation of insulin expression in the adult. Here we show that loss of miRNAs activity in beta-cells during embryonic development results in lower beta-cell mass and in impaired glucose tolerance. Dicer1-null cells initially co...
