Since then, the availability of insulin has shifted the focus of diabetes treatment from trying to keep patients alive to saving and improving the life of millions. Throughout this time, basic and clinical research has advanced our understanding of insulin synthesis and action, both in healthy and pathological conditions. Yet, multiple aspects of insulin production remain unknown. In this review, we focus on the most recent findings on insulin synthesis, highlighting their relevance in diabetes.}, language = {en}, number = {10}, urldate = {2020-11-12}, journal = {Diabetologia}, author = {Vasiljević, Jovana and Torkko, Juha M. and Knoch, Klaus-Peter and Solimena, Michele}, month = oct, year = {2020}, keywords = {WP5}, pages = {1981--1989}, }
