A Diabetes Researcher Forges Her Own Path to a Cure
Pancreatic islet cells are the things that die in your pancreas, thus giving you diabetes.
Why do they die? Because your immune system (white cells) think they're bad guys.
Why? Because they're misreading a protein.
So. Fix the misread so the white cells stop.
And...the pancreatic cells just might grow back.
Thanks, Kim!
