Research News and Information

Definition of 'Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1'

A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

Common names: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1; Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent; Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin Dependent; Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus; Diabetes Mellitus, Juvenile-Onset; Diabetes Mellitus, Juvenile Onset; Juvenile-Onset Diabetes Mellitus; Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Gene therapy with neurogenin 3 and betacellulin reverses major metabolic problems in insulin-deficient diabetic mice.

7 Oct 2009 Insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes leads to disruptions in glucose, lipid, and ketone metabolism with resultant hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and ketonemia. Exogenous insulin and hepatic insulin gene therapy cannot mimic the robust ... Read more...


T cell islet accumulation in type 1 diabetes is a tightly regulated, cell-autonomous event.

6 Oct 2009 Type 1 diabetes is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the pancreatic islets. It is currently thought that islet antigen specificity is not a requirement for islet entry and that diabetogenic T cells ... Read more...


How punctual ablation of regulatory T cells unleashes an autoimmune lesion within the pancreatic islets.

6 Oct 2009 CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are known to control the progression of autoimmune diabetes, but when, where, and how they exert their influence in this context are questions still under vigorous debate. Exploiting a transgene ... Read more...
