11 - Investigating the Roles of Transcription Factor EB (TFEB) in β-Cell Function and Survival Under Stress

      Autophagy helps protect stressed β-cells, but lysosomes and autophagic flux are impaired by severe lipotoxicity or inflammation conditions that activate ER-stress. Transcription factor EB (TFEB) has emerged as a master regulator of lysosomal function and autophagy. Here, we investigate if disruption of TFEB contributes to failure and death of β-cells under various ER stress-inducing conditions.
