The Immune Pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes: Not Only Thinking
... Around 1960, observations of lymphocytic insulitis and the presence of islet cell autoantibodies in patients with type 1 diabetes led to the concept of type 1 diabetes being an organ-specific autoimmune disease. Much work has since been done to unravel the mechanisms behind the aberrant self-directed ...
