An international research team led by scientists from the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden discovered a group of “first responder” cells in the pancreas that are crucial for triggering blood sugar response. This balance is important for managing blood sugar levels and is disturbed in diabetes. Using zebrafish, the team found that these first responder cells are more sensitive to glucose levels and play a key role in regulating the response to rising blood sugar. They also found that these cells are involved in vitamin B6 production, which is essential for the glucose response. This research could lead to new insights into diabetes pathology and treatments.
