Pancreatic islet autoimmunity.

TL;DR: Given the key role of T lymphocytes in T1D, the cartography of autoantigen-derived peptides that are presented to class I-restricted CD8(+) T-cells and class II- restricted CD4(+)T-cells is of outmost importance and is a necessary step in the development of diagnostic T-cell assays and of immunotherapy of T1d.

Endocrine system on chip for a diabetes treatment model

TL;DR: The results suggest that the endocrine system developed in this study is a useful tool for observing dynamical changes in endocrine hormones (GLP-1 and insulin) in a glucose-dependent environment and can potentially be used to screen GLP- 1 analogues and natural insulin and GLp-1 stimulants for diabetes treatment.
