Early-stage type 1 diabetes... what is it?
Type 1 diabetes doesn’t develop overnight. The immune attack on insulin-making cells happens gradually.
We call this symptomless phase, before type 1 diabetes fully develops, early-stage type 1. There are 3 main stages.
(1/2)
ALT Tile says: What is early-stage type 1 diabetes? The silent, symptomless phase before type 1 diabetes fully develops. It can last for months or years.
ALT Tile says: How do we find early-stage type 1 diabetes? We can look in the blood for autoantibodies. These are proteins made by the immune system that earmark insulin-making beta cells for destruction.
ALT Tile says: Autoantibodies show future risk of type 1 diabetes When there are 2 or more autoantibodies, type 1 has already begun and will progress through 3 stages.

📣 The online event “Hot, hungry and breathless - how climate change affects the human body” is taking place on 26th November @ 6:30pm. Join Prof Derek Scott from @aberdeenuni to explore how climate change affects our bodies. Register now: abdn.io/1OO
@mdelibeg preprint entitled "Myeloid cell protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) drives retinal neurodegeneration in diabetic mice" is now @ BioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @AbdnLifeScience @BHFScotland @TheBHF @NHSGrampian
• Inhibition of myeloid cell PTP1B prevents development of acellular retinal capillaries in diabetic mice
• PTP1B mediates superoxide production, ⬇️mitochondrial membrane potential + ⬆️macrophages cell death in chronic conditions associated with abnormally high glucose.
The new work suggests that #inhibition of PTP1B prevents #diabetic #retinopathy by decreasing myeloid cell-driven inflammation and PTP1B represents a therapeutic target for prevention of diabetic retinopathy.

Researchers discover that a high-fat diet damages the heart in mice by disrupting metabolism in heart cells called #cardiomyocytes but find that knocking out the enzyme PTP1B can prevent these harmful effects. @MasonicResearch @mkontari scim.ag/3GAEJLS

Our latest study connects reduced NR4A3 expression with physical inactivity and indicates that NR4A3 downregulation in human muscle has adverse effects on glucose metabolism and protein synthesis.
Congrats to @JonoSmith01 @DrBMGabriel @NicoPillon & team!
