The aim is to reveal new possibilities for the preservation or recovery of this sensitivity in diabetes. Beta cells are a kind of pancreatic cell that produce and segregate insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar levels. &#8220;In diabetic patients and in lab animals we have observed that the overaccumulation of glycogen \u2013 a kind of sugar \u2013 in pancreatic beta cells contributes to their dysfunction&#8221;, explains the director of the project. <\/p>\n<p> The funding of this project, which will last one and a half years, amounts to 100,000 euros. For its implementation, Joan J. Guinovart will be collaborating with Ramon Gomis, from the Hospital Cl\u00ednic de Barcelona and Xavier Correig, director of the Metabolomics Platform of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irbbarcelona.org\/index.php\/cat\/news\/irb-news\/corporative\/the-european-diabetes-foundation-and-pharmaceutical-company-novo-nordisk-fund-a-project-at-irb-barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"email\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For further information<\/a>    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project &#8220;The role of glycogen metabolism in the pancreatic beta-cell&#8221; conducted by the lab headed by Joan J.
