Immune changes linked to diabetes could guide development of new cancer treatments
New research in The Journal of Immunology uncovers how high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) may protect against certain cancers like melanoma, breast and colon cancer.
AI Summary
New research published in The Journal of Immunology reports that high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) may protect against cancers such as melanoma, breast and colon cancer. Although T1D has previously been associated with a lower risk of these cancers, the mechanisms were unclear. Mouse studies now indicate that hyperglycemia‑induced alterations in immune T cells could underlie this protective effect.
