Coxsackievirus B infection invokes unique cell-type-specific responses in primary human pancreatic islets

Abstract excerpt

Coxsackievirus B (CVB) is implicated as an environmental trigger for type 1 diabetes (T1D). While CVB impairs islet function and viability, its impact on individual primary human islet cell types remains unclear. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing and functional studies to show that CVB3 induces distinct cell-type-specific transcriptional and mitochondrial responses in human cadaveric islets. Contrary to...
