Regulatory T cells (Tregs) prevent excessive immune reactions in healthy people. In the development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes, this protection is not sufficiently effective. Researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum München and LMU Munich have now deciphered a mechanism that impairs Treg differentiation and stability. In the study, when researchers inhibited the molecule that triggers this […]
Marking the culmination of a 33-year odyssey, scientists today report a milestone in type 1 diabetes: the first time the disease has been markedly delayed in young people at high risk. Presenting at the American Diabetes Association meeting in San Francisco and publishing simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that 2 […]
Fri, 07 Dec 2018 Jack Woodfield A potential breakthrough into delaying the onset of type 1 diabetes has been made by US researchers. A trial involving a subset of immune cells could mean researchers are one step closer to preventing type 1 diabetes. The research, carried out by the Baylor College of Medicine and the […]
