In my research I focus on understanding the homeostatic mechanisms that control beta cell number. Glucose was shown to be the major regulator of beta cell replication in basal conditions and during regeneration after injury. In order to imitate the effect of glucose I use small glucokinase activating molecules and study their potential. The objectives in my study are:
Understanding the optimal dose/schedule/route of administration of such molecules.
Studying the relationship between the mitogenic and toxic/apoptotic effects of these molecules and whether can we separate between them?
Is there an optimal drug combination that maximizes the effects of such molecules on net replication (e.g GLP1R agonists)?
What is the detailed signaling cascade leading from glucose to cell cycle entry?
