Core Tip

Core Tip: Plantamajoside (PMS) exhibits therapeutic effects in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus pancreatic β-cell damage. The mechanism of action of PMS appears to involve Dnajc1 activation, which subsequently inhibits apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress, ultimately ameliorating damage to pancreatic β-cells.
