Levels of aging-related inflammatory factors in the blood during different stages of type 1 diabetes

Updated

Abstract

Essence

Circulating islet-associated factors may mark senescent beta-cell burden during type 1 diabetes progression.

Evidence

A blinded cross-sectional TrialNet plasma study of pediatric and young adult donors measured seven SASP factors in controls, single-autoantibody-positive donors, and clinical T1D stages, with n=20 per group and independent matched plasma-pancreas support.

Caveat

The cohort was small and cross-sectional, and SASP concentrations did not associate with beta-cell dysfunction, autoantibody titre, or donor age.

Simplified

Key numbers
