A new piece of the puzzle to explain how Type 1 Diabetes occurs and model the process in beta cells
A new study by CHRIM staff member and lead author Gabriel Brawerman in the lab of Dr. Peter Thompson has been published in the journal Molecular Metabolism. The study, entitled “DNA damage to beta cells in culture recapitulates features of senescent beta cells that accumulate in type 1 diabetes” provided insights into how type 1 diabetes develops and explored new model systems to understand this process. About the study: Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a metabolic disorder that freq
