Adults
Managing adults with screen-detected islet autoantibody positivity presents a significant challenge due to the lower risk of progression to type 1 diabetes compared to children, combined with a high background prevalence of mild non-autoimmune dysglycaemia. To address this issue, researchers from the University of Exeter Medical School proposed a pragmatic
Autoantibodies
A new study published in Diabetes Care has identified differences in clinical characteristics among children with and without autoantibodies at the time of type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The research, conducted by a team from Lund University, provides valuable insights into the complexities of type 1 diabetes, a condition characterized by

Alzheimer's disease
New research conducted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has shed light on the relationship between ITPR1 autoantibody-associated autoimmunity and Alzheimer's disease-like symptoms. The study involved a 58-year-old patient who was admitted with acute confusion, rapidly progressive cognitive decline, and hallucinations, which were initially suggestive
Autoantibodies
Researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research have discovered that autoantibodies, specifically targeting type I interferons, are a key feature in severe COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. The study found that hospitalized patients had significantly higher levels of autoantibodies targeting various proteins, including ACE2, MPO, IFNO, IFNa1,
