Many different mutations linked to Type 2 diabetes all occur in key stretches of active DNA within pancreatic islet cells, interfering with the activity of a master regulator
MTRAC for Life Sciences Innovation Hub, based at U-M Medical School, awards annual funding to 11 project teams.
Read MoreA new paper published in PNAS, by Indika Rajapakse, Ph.D., and Stephen Smale, Ph.D., builds a highly idealized mathematical foundation that combines the genome (within cell) and the diffusion (between cell) dynamical forces. The tradeoff between these forces gives rise to emergence of function of the tissue.
