Scientists probe immune system flaws in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06427421
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at blood samples from 80 children (ages 2-17) recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and compares them to healthy children. Researchers want to understand how certain immune cells (called T cells) stop working properly, leading to the disease. The goal is to gather knowledge that could help develop new cell-based treatments to restore immune balance.
