The Role of β Cell Stress and Neo-Epitopes in the Immunopathology of Type 1 Diabetes
18 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Due to their secretory function, β cells are predisposed to higher levels of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and greater sensitivity to inflammation than other cell types. These stresses elicit changes in β cells that alter their function and immunogenicity, including defective ribosomal initiation, post-translational modifications (PTMs) of endogenous β cell proteins, and alternative splicing. Multiple...
