What do you get when you mix certain immune cells with vitamin D and a disease-provoking molecule? An innovative new vaccine for type 1 diabetes. “We are trying to educate the immune system to teach it what not to do,” Bart O.

According to many observations, certain virus infections may play a part in the autoimmune attack that leads to type 1 diabetes. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and their Finnish colleagues have now produced a vaccine for these viruses in the hope that it could provide protection against the disease. The study is published today […]

STOCKHOLM, March 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — 91 out of a total of 106 patienter with type 1 diabetes are included in the European phase IIb trial DIAGNODE-2, where the diabetes vaccine Diamyd® is given directly into the lymph node with the aim to preserve the patients’ endogenous insulin production. As previously announced, results from the […]
Rotavirus, which directly infects pancreas cells and causes cell death via apoptosis, has previously been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). To further investigate whether natural infection with the virus was a causative factor in T1D, a team of investigators analyzed publicly available data in Australian children following the introduction of the rotavirus to the […]
Type 1 diabetes, in which the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, is caused by both genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, researchers believe. Biotech startup Provention Bio is trying to reduce the environmental risk by way of a vaccine scientists believe can prevent up to 50% of new Type 1 diabetes cases. […]
