Pathogenesis of fulminant type 1 diabetes: Genes, viruses and the immune mechanism, and usefulness of patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells for future research

Abstract excerpt

We reviewed fulminant type 1 diabetes, a recently established subtype of type 1 diabetes, from the aspects of genes, viruses, immune mechanism and usefulness of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In an analysis of the pancreas of patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes, viral antigens and viral receptors were expressed in β-cells, as well as macrophages and T lymphocytes surrounding the...
