Gut microbiota translocation to the pancreatic lymph nodes triggers NOD2 activation and contributes to T1D onset

Abstract excerpt

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors, resulting in the destruction of pancreatic β cells. The disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier and consequent escape of microbial products may be one of these environmental triggers. However, the immune receptors that are activated in this context remain elusive. We show here that during...
