In response to the stress, beta cells activate a cell death pathway leading to the loss of beta cell mass in the animal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This study,\u00a0published in the journal\u00a0<em>Diabetes,\u00a0<\/em>shows that beta cell stress is occurring at the earliest stages of the disease process, raising the intriguing possibility that beta cell stress could be part of the trigger for the autoimmune process that leads to type 1 diabetes.\u00a0 This provides some insight on the early events in\u00a0 type 1 diabetes\u00a0\u00a0progression, and also suggests that drugs or therapeutic strategies that alleviate cell stress might be used to delay progress of the disease, either preventing insulin dependence or preserving beta cell function, improving glucose control and reducing the risk of complications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JDRF-funded scientists from the Indiana University School of Medicine have found that a specific type of
