Prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis in relatives screened for islet autoantibodies and followed up in the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study at a single institution in Italy - Diabetologia Aims/hypothesis Screening for islet autoantibodies is an effective method for identifying individuals with pre-symptomatic (stage 1 and 2) type 1 diabetes. This approach offers a valuable opportunity ...

Aberrant immune regulation and enrichment of stem-like CD8+ T cells in the pancreatic lymph node during type 1 diabetes development Effector CD8+ T cells are key cellular drivers of type 1 diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis, yet questions remain regarding the molecular defects leading to altered cytotoxicity, their signature in periphera...

Happening today!

The end of the genetic paradigm of cancer Genome sequencing results and single-cell transcriptomics continue to produce findings that challenge the idea that cancer is purely a ‘genetic disease’. This Essay delves into cancer omics data that ...

If I did not worry about future prospects for my trainees, I don’t think I would ever publish beyond pre-prints unless there were free open-access society journals.

Extremely pleased to share our new work in collaboration with the @bruskolab.bsky.social lab, where we leveraged one of the largest TCRbeta sequencing datasets to identify T1D-associated TCR-based signatures. Paper link and 🧵 are below. Incredible work led by @puneet021192.bsky.social.

I clearly feel more comfortable on the water than in the Arizona desert but it was a fun Thanksgiving in both places.

I was honored to talk to @evartesfaye.bsky.social about one community’s effort to stay put in the face of climate change.

Please join us for this amazing event. Looking forward to seeing these talks. @ufdiabetes @breakthrought1d.bsky.social
