Abstract Pancreatic β-cells are critical for systemic glucose homeostasis, and most of them undergo cell death during the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. We previously showed that a Na+ channel inhibitor, carbamazepine, could protect β-cells in vitro and in vivo. Here, we confirmed the effects of carbamazepine and other Na+ channel inhibitors on human islets and focused on the specific role of the Na+ channel gene, Scn9a (Nav1.7), in β-cell function and survival.

The goal, policy-makers say, is to smooth the financial path for builders and owners of new plants.
