Verbal IQ, overall IQ, and brain volume are lower in children with type 1 diabetes than in their peers without the disorder. Researchers believe the cognitive and brain development differences are associated with hyperglycemia. Read More
Children with type 1 diabetes have slower growth of total cortical and subcortical gray and white matter compared to their peers without diabetes. Read More
Researchers have developed small molecules that inhibit one of the main enzymes implicated in autoimmune response. The research could lead to potential new medications for a range of autoimmune diseases. Read More
Researchers consider why those with autoimmune diseases are more likely to have a previous diagnosis of stress-related disorders. Read More
A new method for studying the mircobiome has allowed researchers to identify a connection between metabolism in gut bacteria and the development of diabetes. Read More
Using new technology to turn inflammation on and off in mice, researchers discover inflammation may contribute to sleep disorders. Read More
Researchers report they have found no increased risk of autoimmune diseases in girls who received the HPV4 vaccine. The study adds to a growing body of evidence for the safety of the vaccine. Read More
A mouse study reveals nerve cells damaged as a result of diabetes may not be repairable due to low levels of specific cytokines. Read More
A new study reports those diagnosed later in childhood with type 1 diabetes have lower brain connectivity than those diagnosed at younger ages. Read More
A new study reports people with type 1 diabetes appear to have accelerated brain aging which correlates with slower information processing. Read More
