Recently, several LH/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) receptor-independent activities for hCG have been described, including activation of the TGF-β receptor (TGFβR) by hyperglycosylated hCG and stimulation of trophoblast invasion. Because the hC

Pancreatic β-cell death plays a role in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but clinical treatments that specifically target β-cell survival have not yet been developed. We have recently developed live-cell imaging-based, high-throughput screening met
