TEHRAN, May 23-Researchers say there may be triggers to the genetically linked type 1 diabetes, finding in a recent study that coxsackievirus may be one of those triggers.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Researchers say there may be triggers to the genetically linked type 1 diabetes, identifying one potential trigger in a new study.
New research suggests that coxsackievirus decreases the number of insulin-producing β-cells, or beta cells, raising the risk for type 1 diabetes in lab mice, according to findings published Wednesday in Cell Reports.
