Abstract:
The present invention provides screening methods for the detection of agents that affect various aspects of β-cell biology, particularly insulin gene expression. Screening methods are also provided for detection of agents that affect β-cell differentiation from progenitor cells. Additionally, agents identified using such methods are provided and are useful for increasing insulin gene expression and reducing lipotoxicity.
