A Molecular Link Between Diabetes and Dementia: Implications for Prevention

  This event has passed.
 

 

Type  1  diabetes  (T1D)  patients  have  lost  almost  all  their insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets owing to their  autoimmune  destruction  by  the  body’s  own  immune  system.  However,  recent  studies  suggest  that  intrinsic non-immune  beta-cell  dysfunction  or  degeneration  could play  a  central  role  in  the  disease  process,  initiated  by anti-islet autoimmunity, but then proceeding independently of the immune system.
