Identical twins have the same genomes, but they don't always look exactly the same, particularly in regards to weight. Science now may have an answer to why.
A team led by Van Andel Institute and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics scientists has identified two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells, or ß cells, each with crucial characteristics that may be leveraged to better understand and treat Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Epigenetic mechanisms are ubiquitous in biology. Because of epigenetics, organisms with otherwise identical genes (e.g., twins) can be quite different.
A team led by Van Andel Institute scientists has identified two distinct types of obesity with physiological and molecular differences that may have lifelong consequences for health, disease and response to medication.
