Default Study: Scientists are now one step closer to improved treatment of Type 2 diabetes

The team from Garvan's Diabetes Signalling Unit, led by Associate Professor
Trevor Biden and Dr Carsten Schmitz-Peiffer, has identified an enzyme known
as "PKCepsilon" (PKCe) that is active during diabetes and blocks the
availability of insulin. "In PKCe, we believe we've identified a very
important biological target that will enable us to address one of the major
underlying causes of diabetes," said Biden. "The next step is to develop a
targeted pharmaceutical that will inhibit PKCe and allow the insulin
producing cells of the pancreas to do their job."
