Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pancreatic islet and its function represents a core component of metabolic health, particularly in the context of metabolic diseases such as Type 1 and 2 diabetes.
This Special Issue of Metabolites, entitled “Islet Biology and Metabolism,” is dedicated to islet research and the impact of islet function in metabolic health and disease. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, islet hormone processing and secretion, islet transplant research, novel proteins of the insulin secretory pathway, as well as islet drug targets for the management of T1D and T2D. We also invite manuscripts that utilise novel techniques and methodologies in islet biology research, noting the technological advancements in single cell analysis, proteomics, and metabolomics in recent years that have allowed for more in-depth analyses of islet physiology.
