Tirzepatide reverses β-cell dedifferentiation in HFD-fed mice.

Tirzepatide may help restore β-cell function by reversing dedifferentiation in diabetic conditions.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Tirzepatide reverses β-cell dedifferentiation, as indicated by reduced ALDH1A3 expression and restored levels of the identity transcription factors PDX1 and MAFA.
