Pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction is the ultimate cause behind all forms of diabetes. Decades of research with different animal and cellular models have expanded the knowledge on the heterogeneous molecular mechanisms causing the disease. However, they present important limitations that may significantly affect the way these findings can be translated into new approaches to combat diabetes in humans. Rodent pancreatic islet development and physiology display species-specific particularities when compared to human. Similarly, rodent and human insulinoma cell lines are a convenient research tool but do not recapitulate faithfully the functionality of adult human beta-cells. To validate if the findings obtained with these models extrapolate to ...
