SerpinB13 Antibodies Promote β Cell Development and Resistance to Type 1 Diabetes

Investigators showed that inhibiting serpinB13, a cathepsin L protease inhibitor expressed in the pancreatic epithelium, caused in vitro and in vivo cleavage of the extracellular domain of Notch1.

Lotus-Root-Shaped Cell-Encapsulated Construct as a Retrieval Graft for Long-Term Transplantation of Human iPSC-Derived β-Cells

Researchers developed a lotus-root-shaped cell-encapsulated construct as a graft that can be retrieved after long-term human-stem-cell-derived pancreatic beta cell transplantation.

Endogenous Mitochondrial Double‐Stranded RNA is Not an Activator of the Type I Interferon Response in Human Pancreatic Beta Cells

Researchers suggested that accumulation of endogenous mtdsRNA following degradosome knockdown depended on the proliferative capacity of the cells and was not a mediator of the type I interferon response in human pancreatic beta cells.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Much Progress, Many Opportunities

While much has been learned about type 1 diabetes (T1D), it is now clear that there is considerable heterogeneity in T1D with regards to genetics, pathology, response to immune-based therapies, clinical course, and susceptibility to diabetes-related complications. This review highlights knowledge gaps and opportunities to improve the understanding of T1D pathogenesis and outlines emerging therapies to treat or prevent T1D and reduce the burden of T1D.

Islet Sympathetic Innervation and Islet Neuropathology in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

To investigate islet sympathetic innervation in type 1 diabetes (T1D), sympathetic tyrosine hydroxylase axons were analyzed in control non-diabetic organ donors, non-diabetic islet autoantibody-positive individuals, and age-matched persons with T1D.

Combined Therapy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells with a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist, Liraglutide, on an Inflammatory-Mediated Diabetic Non-Human Primate Model

The authors assessed the therapeutic potential of co-administration of human clonal mesenchymal stem cells and liraglutide as a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist in a non-human primate model with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
