Potential role of type I interferon in the pathogenic process leading to type 1 diabetes
24 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Understanding the relationship between viral infections and the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is essential for T1D prevention. Virus-induced innate immune responses, specifically type I interferon (IFN-I) and the IFN gene signature, orchestrate early events of β-cell dysfunction preceding islet autoimmunity. We summarize recent advances in how IFN-I and the IFN gene signature can drive...
