Newly discovered mechanism suggests novel approach to prevent type 1 diabetes

New research demonstrates a disease mechanism in type 1 diabetes that can be targeted using simple, naturally occurring molecules to help prevent the disease. The work highlights a previously unrecognized molecular pathway that contributes to the malfunction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells in T1D in humans and mice, and shows that a chemical intervention can help beta cells function properly and survive.
