Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sushant Bhatnagar on Maintaining Glucose Homeostasis via Tomosyn-2, Vladimer Darsalia on insulin resistance and stroke outcomes, plus "Sweet Talk" with Timo Mueller, recipient of the 2026 Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award

Q: Can you tell us about the mouse model used to dissect the roles of beta cell function and growth, and whether the effects are direct or indirect?

He explains they used Thomason-2 loss-of-function mice to assess in vivo consequences on insulin secretion, beta cell mass, and glucose homeostasis, and argues there is strong evidence for a direct beta cell role given binding data and cell-based assays showing reduced SNARE complex formation.

Q: Could you start by giving us an overview of your research program and how this project grew out of that?

Sushant describes a broader beta cell biology program focused on how beta cells balance insulin secretion with cellular identity, maturation, and growth, and explains that Thomason-2 emerged as a regulator coordinating maturation and expansion, guiding the study into postnatal development and exocytosis.

Matthew Merrins on Amino Acid Sensing, Noah Levi & Alejandro Caicedo on controlling pancreatic cell function through muscarinic receptor signaling, plus "Sweet Talk" about the upcoming Scientific Sessions with Mark Atkinson

Q: What do you hope attendees feel as they arrive in New Orleans for the Scientific Sessions?

Mark Atkinson describes the energy as one of excitement and optimism, emphasizing the personalized, interactive experiences and the opportunity to see cutting-edge, high-impact science.

Q: If you could acquire any new skill in the world, what would it be?

Matt Merrins says he would like to learn how to swim well, especially now that he lives near the ocean.

Frequently Asked Questions About DiabetesBio

What is DiabetesBio about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This show centers on a steady stream of in-depth conversations with researchers and clinicians at the cutting edge of diabetes and metabolism. Episodes typically pair two primary researchers—often beta-cell biology, islet development, immune interactions, or genetic/metabolic regulation—with a third segment, Sweet Talk, featuring a noted scientist discussing translational therapeutics, clinical trial themes, or keynote conference takeaways. Across installments, topics frequently cover beta-cell maturation and function, insulin resistance and its systemic effects, incretin biology, obesity-related metabolism, and pediatric or autoimmune diabetes, often tying basic science to potential therapies and patient outcomes. The format appears to ble... more
