Insulitis in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Insulitis in Human Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an auto-immune disease characterized by the selective destruction of the insulin secreting beta cells in the pancreas during an inflammatory phase known as insulitis. Patients with T1D are typically dependent on the administration of externally provided insulin in order to manage blood glucose levels. Whilst technological developments have significantly improved both th...

Insulitis in Type 1 Diabetes: A Sticky Problem

Lymphocytic infiltration in the islets of Langerhans is generally recognized as the defining lesion in young patients with recent-onset type 1A diabetes. In a landmark article published in Diabetes in 1965, Gepts (1) described insulitis in 70% of cases with acute diabetes and found that the lesion only affected islets with residual -cells in pancreatic organs that had otherwise lost most of the...

Pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes: genetics

There has been much progress in the identification of genes and molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. Human histocompatibility (HLA) complex genes are the most powerful susceptibility determinants. The stronger effect is from alleles coding for selected HLA class I and class II antigen-presenting molecules, which are restricting elements for autoreactive CD8 and CD...
