Their findings, published in Circulation, could eventually lead to gene therapies for this and other genetic diseases affecting smooth muscle cells.

A preclinical model developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that recapitulates a rare infant-onset form of diabetes suggests the condition stems from gradual damage to the pancreas through misregulation of a molecular pathway called the unfolded protein response (UPR).
