Breakthrough T1D Researchers Develop a Combined Risk Score to Predict Which Children Develop T1D
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be hard to predict in high risk children. Testing for the presence of T1D autoantibodies—antibodies against one’s own proteins—helps reduce the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)—a common occurrence in children upon diagnosis, that can lead to death if not treated—but this testing is not widely available. While having 2 or […]
Cell Therapy Approaches Moving Along the Pipeline
Beta cell replacement therapies for type 1 diabetes (T1D) have made significant advances in just the past 10 years. We now have insulin-producing beta cells, derived from stem cells, which makes a donor (needed to provide the beta cells) obsolete. We have seen that stem cell-derived precursors can—once implanted in humans—mature into beta cells and […]
