Reinforcing one-carbon metabolism via folic acid/Folr1 promotes β-cell differentiation

Regeneration of insulin-producing beta-cells may become a future alternative treatment of diabetes. Here the authors report a genetic screen in a zebrafish model that mimics the loss of beta-cells in diabetes, and identified that the folate receptor Folr1 or folinic acid treatment can stimulate beta...
