Role of p21-activated secretory phenotype (PASP) in initiating type 1 diabetes pathogenesis

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune insulitis destruction of insulin-secreting β cells. β cell senescence with upregulated expression of P21 has been observed in the adult NOD mice and new-onset patients. However, it remains unclear whether the beta cell senescence is an outcome of persistent insulitis, and the factors trigger insulitis remains unclear. The […]
