A research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has identified a mechanistic link between high blood glucose levels and weakened immunity against viral infections in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The coll…
For the first time, scientists have found that proteins from bacteria can trigger the immune system to attack insulin-producing cells, leading to the development of type 1 diabetes.
A study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland found distinct signatures in CD8+ T cells in blood samples from children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and in autoantibody-positive children who later developed type 1 diabetes. The study wa…
A new study reveals that aging human pancreatic beta cells display features of senescence while maintaining elevated levels of genes crucial for their function. Despite their aging status, these cells therefore exhibit an ability to release insulin in …
Researchers from Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) and Ahead Therapeutics SL have been exploring a treatment based on liposome-type nanoparticles to address the autoimmunity of type 1 diabetes for years. A study recently published in the …
