  2. 1. Genetic interaction between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

    Author : Haiyan Li; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; IDDM2.; Insulin gene VNTR; HLA; IDDM1; mixed type 1 2; Mixed type 1 type 2 diabetes families; LADA; GADabs; Autoantibodies against GAD65; Type 1 diabetes; Type 2 diabetes; diabetology; secreting systems; sekretion; diabetologi; Endokrinologi;

    Abstract : There are two major types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Similarly characterized by hyperglycaemia and long term micro- and macrovascular complications, type 1 and type 2 diabetes have different underlying pathophysiologic processes. In Scandinavia, type 1 diabetes is common; type 2 diabetes accounts for 85% of all cases with diabetes. READ MORE

    Abstract : Diabetes is recognized by hyperglycaemia and polyuria. Complications, reduced quality of life and staggering health-care costs are all derived from the disease. Two subclasses of diabetes are Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

  5. 3. Antigen-specific islet antibodies: prediction of beta cell failure and differentiation between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

    Author : Henrik Borg; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetology; Endokrinologi; secreting systems; Endocrinology; seropositive; seronegative; slowly-progressive; Type 2; Type 1; classification; IA-2A; IA-2; GADA; GAD; ICA; islet antibodies; C-peptide; beta cell function; diabetes mellitus; adult-onset; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Abstract : Autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), protein tyrosine-phosphatase-like protein (IAÐ2A), and/or pancreatic islet cells (ICA) are autoimmune markers usually present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is therefore in general believed to be caused by an immune-mediated beta cell destruction. READ MORE

  6. 4. Challenges in Islet Transplantation and Strategies to Improve Beta-Cell Function

    Author : Hanna Liljebäck; Per-Ola Carlsson; James Shaw; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Islet transplantation; Type 1 diabetes; Mesenchymal stem cells; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide and therapies of islet transplantation and potential cell-based therapies are rapidly evolving. Choosing the optimal site for such therapies is crucial for safety and for obtaining the best possible outcome. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pancreatic extracellular communication. Applications to beta cell cultures and islet amyloid polypeptide aggregation

    Author : Diana Ribeiro; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease with epidemic proportions due to increased incidences worldwide, persistence of undiagnosed cases, uncontrolled forms of the disease, association with cardiovascular complications, and lack of definitive treatment options. In particular, type 2 DM (T2DM) is placing an enormous financial burden on worldwide healthcare systems that will increase in the futureThere is a need to develop physiological assay platforms that provide functionally relevant models of diabetes in order to accelerate the discovery of new treatments.
