Type 2 Diabetes: Science Online Special Collection

Type 2 Diabetes: Science Online Special Collection
Science Magazine and its online Knowledge Environments examine the vexing puzzle of type 2 diabetes -- a scourge expected nearly double in incidence, to some 300 million, over the next two decades. Viewpoint articles in Science overview the various molecular suspects that might underlie the disease, and explore the connections between diabetes and obesity. Science's Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment looks at insulin resistance mechanisms and pathways for stimulation of β-cell growth. And the Science of Aging Knowledge Environment offers a view on how studies of "the lowly spleen" are yielding insights on diabetes and aging-related diseases.
