Understanding diabetes progression via tissue chemical imaging

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a devastating multifactorial disorder manifested by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells leading to insulin deficiency. Our overarching aim is to investigate the spaciochemical changes in the human exocrine and endocrine pancreata during various stages of T1D with unmatched chemical specificity and multiplexity. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry […]
