Genomic analysis reveals cellular cause of type 1 diabetes
Genomic analysis reveals cellular cause of type 1 diabetes 1 Combining two genomic methodologies, researchers have shown that pancreatic exocrine cells are implicated in type 1 diabetes. By mapping its genetic underpinnings, researchers at University of California, San Diego, US, have identified a predictive causal role for specific cell types in type 1 diabetes. According to the researchers, type 1 diabetes is characterised by the impairment and loss of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells and subsequent hyperglycemia. The mechanisms of type 1 diabetes, including how autoimmunity is trig...
