Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We generated a cilia reporter mouse strain that will facilitate the analysis of cilia biology and its influence on energy homeostasis. Furthermore, we analysed the function of Hedgehog signalling and the novel gene, the
Insulin-like growth factor receptor-Like (
Igfr-L), in the endocrine pancreas and demonstrated their involvement in the regulation of glucose metabolism. Thus, Hh signalling and the Igfr-L are potential drug targets to treat diabetes mellitus.
