Stressed β-cells contribute to loss of peri-islet extracellular matrix in type 1 diabetes
2025-06-27
Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in pancreatic islets. The peri-islet extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex protein barrier that is lost in T1D, in part due to infiltrating immune cells. The contribution of stressed β-cells to ECM degradation during T1D remains unclear. To bridge this gap, we used 12–15-week-old NOD mice and pancreas sections...
