TypeÌý 1Ìý diabetesÌý (T1D)Ìý patientsÌý haveÌý lostÌý almostÌý allÌý their insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets owing to theirÌý autoimmuneÌý destructionÌý byÌý theÌý body’sÌý ownÌý immuneÌý system.Ìý However,Ìý recentÌý studiesÌý suggestÌý thatÌý intrinsic non-immuneÌý beta-cellÌý dysfunctionÌý orÌý degenerationÌý could playÌý aÌý centralÌý roleÌý inÌý theÌý diseaseÌý process,Ìý initiatedÌý by anti-islet autoimmunity, but then proceeding independently of the immune system.
