🧬 Early signals of Type 1 Diabetes may lie in the loss of DOC2B, an exocytosis protein linked to β-cell function. This study suggests declines in DOC2B could precede traditional markers like C-peptide and HbA1c. by @thesugarscience

🧬 Nanomedicine is changing autoimmune therapy.

Targeted nanoparticles can deliver immunomodulators straight to inflamed tissue and lymph nodes—lower doses, fewer side effects, and real immune tolerance instead of broad immunosuppression.

How we deliver drugs might be just as important as what we give.

New research shows kids with T1D have more cavities and gingivitis linked to worse metabolic markers and distinct salivary cytokine profiles, suggesting oral health may be a non-invasive window into systemic inflammation. 🦷🔬 #Type1Diabetes #OralHealth #Immunology by @thesugarscience

Check out our latest episode where we break down new work on islet biology and what it means for the future of Type 1 Diabetes research.

Inside the pancreas, β, α, and δ cells are constantly communicating to regulate glucose. When that cellular network is disrupted, glycemic control — and disease progression — can follow. Understanding these signals could help us move from basic biology to real-time biomarkers and new therapies.

Listen to the full episode and explore the science behind islet cell “conversations” at the link in our bio.
