Interferon expression in the pancreases of patients with type I diabetes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, of the cytokines examined, only IFN-α was significantly increased in the diabetic patients, a result that is consistent with the possibility that this cytokine is directly involved in the development of type I diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Familial Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy and Mutations in the Sulfonylurea Receptor

TL;DR: The disease most commonly presents with severe hypoglycemia a few hours after birth, although some cases present after several weeks or months, and some require partial pancreatectomy to control the hyperinsulinism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human islets of Langerhans express Fas ligand and undergo apoptosis in response to interleukin-1beta and Fas ligation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that human islet cells are primed to undergo apoptosis by interleukin-1beta and that this involves the close association between cell-surface Fas and its ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression profiles for the human pancreas and purified islets in Type 1 diabetes: new findings at clinical onset and in long-standing diabetes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported whole genome transcript analysis validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and correlated with immunohistological observations for four Type 1 diabetes patients and for purified islets from two of them.
