Sporting weekend in TO.

@JimJohnsonSci Thank you Jim and thank you for all the guidance and mentorship.

Congrats to Peter on a really nice paper.

13/13 In summary, we believe that carbamazepine have the potential to be promising repurposed drugs for enhancing beta-cell survival in type 1 diabetes. However, it is important to note that further studies are required to optimize the drugs' activity and selectivity.

12/13 We propose that Na+ channels play a crucial role in the hyperexcitability observed in beta-cells when exposed to high glucose, and suggest that targeting Na+ channels could be a promising approach to modulate this hyperexcitability.

1/13 I’m excited to share the pre-print of the main part of my PhD project titled “Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of Scn9aprotects beta-cells while reducing insulin secretion in type 1 diabetes” Click here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
