Lessons from Animal Diabetes VI

The book features a comprehensive exploration of genetic constructs related to diabetes, with a focus on B-cell function in transgenic animals and the complexities of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). It includes ten articles discussing various animal models, their genetic traits, and complications associated with diabetes, such as OLETF rats and db/db mice. The editorial board welcomes new members and honors the contributions of past members, particularly Dr. Otho Michaelis IV, whose work significantly advanced the understanding of diabetes in animal models.
