**A Hidden Protein-Folding Failure May Help Drive Diabetes**
By Sanford Burnham Prebys - Published on 20 July 2026
A study offers new insight into how insulin-producing cells could become more resilient to stress as diabetes progresses. Before proteins can work inside a cell, they must twist and fold into precise three-dimensional forms. As prediabetes advances toward diabetes, that careful process can break down, allowing defective proteins to accumulate and place insulin-producing cells under [...]
