Summary
Scientists have discovered that a buildup of a protein called Miro1 may be a hidden driver of insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes, with preclinical experiments showing that removing it restores the muscles’ response to insulin. Exercise was also found to lower Miro1 levels in people with diabetes, revealing a potential new pathway for treating the disease.
