Monitoring T cells might allow prevention of type 1 diabetes: Research
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Scripps Scientists have discovered that analysing a certain type of immune cell in the blood can help identify people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, a fatal autoimmune illness. If the new approach is verified in future research, it might be used to select potential people for treatme

Evidence of autoimmunity's origins uncovered via new approach: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.

Researchers explain the cause of autoimmunity in patients with type 1 diab
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 25 (ANI): Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas makes little or no insulin. The details of the events that occur during autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells have been studied extensively yet the mystery of what causes a

Researchers suggests focus on beta cells instead of immune system could be
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 28 (ANI): A recent research by a group of scientists discovered that the causes of type 1 diabetes focus more on the autoimmune response, where the immune system destroys pancreatic islet beta cells which help to produce insulin in the body.

New research gives further evidence of autoimmunity's role in Parkinson's
Updated : 5 years, 10 months ago IST
California [USA], April 21 (ANI): A new study has found evidence that Parkinson's disease is partly an autoimmune disease and the autoimmune system of a body plays an important role in the disease's functioning.
