A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Some ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

Microscopy images of antigen-inexperienced (‘naïve’) mouse CD8 T cells (green). A subset of these cells expresses Dapl1 protein (red), identifying a population committed to a memory stem-like lineage.

Researchers found that genetic variants linked to type 1 diabetes risk are also active in certain brain cells. The most important signal appeared in microglia, which are the brain’s resident immune ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster when the body encounters a familiar threat, shedding light on immune memory ...
