Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes In article number 2202342, Ronald J. Parchem and co‐workers describe two hIAPP protofibril‐specific antibodies which prevent β cell toxicity in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Treatment with mAbs increases survival in a mouse model of severe T2D, and pancreatic islets from treated mice show decreased β cell death and macrophage infiltration, comparable to healthy wild‐type animals, as depicted in the photo.
