Immune cells that may help sustain type 1 diabetes attack identified
Type 1 diabetes isn't an overnight attack against the body's ability to make insulin. It can be a sustained campaign over years that relentlessly targets insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
AI Summary
Scientists describe type 1 diabetes as a prolonged autoimmune campaign that continuously targets insulin‑producing pancreatic cells over years, rather than an abrupt attack. They note that the mechanisms allowing this sustained immune response remain unclear.
