The Scientist features Brodsky research on glucose-regulating proteins

The Scientist magazine blog of May 28 highlights new advances from the UCSF laboratory of Frances Brodsky, DPhil, in understanding the human proteins involved when glucose transport is disrupted in type 2 diabetes. The research, which is published in the current issue of the journal Science, points to some of the differences between human diabetes and mouse-models and sheds new light into possible mechanisms of the disease. The story quotes Brodsky, who is senior author on the paper and a UCSF professor in the joint Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences in the schools of Medicine and Pharmacy, as well as in the departments of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Microbiology and Immunology.
