The Academies originally produced the guidelines to offer a common set of ethical standards for the responsible conduct of research using human stem cells, an area that, due to an absence of comprehensive federal funding, was lacking national standards.
Since their initial release, the guidelines have served effectively as the basis for oversight of this research in the United States.

Central to this is a loss of beta-cell function and mass as a result of insulin resistance (the inability of cells in the body to respond appropriately to insulin).
New insight into how insulin resistance leads to loss of beta-cell mass has now been provided by studies in multiple mouse models of type 2 diabetes performed by Randal Kaufman and colleagues, at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor.
In the study, in the absence of the protein CHOP, the symptoms of diabetes improved in two mouse models of the disease, and this was associated with increased beta-cell mass.
