Type 1 diabetes cured in mice

Using a blended immune system, scientists reversed type 1 diabetes without immune suppression.
Stanford scientists have taken a striking step toward reimagining type 1 diabetes treatment, using a carefully calibrated “immune reboot” to restore normal blood sugar in mice that had already ...
Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising journey of one Mayo Clinic research team. After identifying a sugar molecule ...
Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...
With further testing, the novel approach could one day cure the as-yet incurable condition. The pancreatic islet is the only human tissue that produces insulin in response to rising blood glucose ...
People with type 1 diabetes must constantly rely on insulin injections or pumps, usually for the rest of their life after diagnosis. The autoimmune disease destroys the cells that produce the hormone, ...
A retrievable immune scaffold reveals a 5–7 week presymptomatic window for tracking type 1 diabetes progression, long before blood sugar tests turn positive. Study: Longitudinal monitoring of type 1 ...
Researchers are developing a two-part therapy for type 1 diabetes: lab-made insulin-producing cells paired with custom-engineered immune cells that protect them. The goal is to stop the immune system ...
