Relationship between type 1 diabetes, interferon response and viral infection is first step toward preventive therapies

A study from an international team of researchers from the Helmholtz Diabetes Center at Helmholtz Zentrum Munich, the Institute of Biomedical and Clinical Science at University of Exeter Medical School, and the Department of Medicine at the University of Tennessee has uncovered the role of interferon responses to viral infections and in insulin production and inflammation in people with type 1 diabetes. Understanding this mechanism is the first step toward developing preventive therapies or medical interventions for those at risk of type 1 diabetes. The findings have been published in Science Advances.
