Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune-mediated loss of insulin-producing β-cells. Recent findings suggest that the events controlling T1D development are not only immunological, but also neuronal in nature. In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of T1D, a mutant sensory neuron channel, TRPV1, initiates chronic, progressive β-cell stress, inducing islet cell inflammation. This novel mechanism of organ-specific damage requires a...
