Abstract

This editorial summarizes the latest literature on the roles of neuronal PAS domain protein 2 and KN motif/ankyrin repeat domain 1 in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We highlight their involvement in β-cell dysfunction, explore their potential as therapeutic targets, and discuss the implications for new treatment strategies. We offer valuable insights into relevant gene regulation and cellular mechanisms relevant for the targeted management of T2D.
