Diabetes study data from Stanford University, U.S., were highlighted recently in medical journals. Study 1: Calcineurin/NFAT signaling regulates pancreatic beta-cell growth and function. According to recent research from the United States, "The growth and function of organs such as pancreatic islets adapt to meet physiological challenges and maintain metabolic balance, but the mechanisms controlling these facultative responses are unclear.
