People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of great importance for the ability of muscle stem cells to create new mature muscle cells. The findings are published in Nature Communications.
“In people with type 2 diabetes, the VPS39 gene is significantly less active in the musclecells than it is in other people, and the stem cells with less activity of the gene…
