Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. Although defects in various T cell subsets have been linked to the disease pathogenesis, mechanisms initiating or enhancing the autoimmunity in prediabetes remain poorly understood. To unravel genes and molecular pathways affected by the diabetes-associated autoimmunity, we...
