Changes in Insulin Receptor Condensates Contribute to Insulin Resistance
Jesse M. Platt, PhD, MD, and colleagues discovered that insulin receptor forms condensates and detailed how changes in the physio-mechanical features of insulin receptor condensates affect insulin resistance, showing that insulin receptor condensates are key for insulin signaling, become dysfunctional in insulin resistance and thus could be new targets for diabetes drugs.
