1. Beta Cell Function: from Human Genetics to Animal Models
Sammanfattning : Beta cell function is an important factor in the development of both Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) diabetes mellitus. T1D is characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion due to the immune-mediated beta cell destruction, however, the more common T2D beside insulin resistance also include impaired beta cell function as a consequence to abnormal glucose homeostasis.

2. The Importance of CTLA-4 and HLA Class II for Type 1 Diabetes Immunology
Sammanfattning : Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a serious chronic disease that results from an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells. Sweden has the second highest incidence of T1D in the world, and it affects more and more children each year. Genes controlling key functions of the immune system regulation of autoimmunity has been associated to T1D. LÄS MER
3. Aspects of autoantibody epitopes in type 1 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA), insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2A) and the most recently identified zinc T8 transporter (ZnT8A). Together or alone, they are important both to predict T1D and to classify diabetes at the time of clinical onset. LÄS MER
4. Studies of immunological risk factors in type 1 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic, autoimmune disease caused by a T cell mediated destruction of ß-cells in pancreas. The development of T1D is determined by a combination of genetic susceptibility genes and environmental factors involved in the pathogenesis of T1D. LÄS MER
5. Type l diabetes in childhood and adolescence, environmental exposures and gut microbiota
Sammanfattning : Environmental factors leading to disturbances in the gut microbiota might play an important role as triggers for, and/or contributing factors in, the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The overall aim of the research underlying this thesis was to study the influence of environmental factor exposure on the risk of T1D in childhood and adolescence, and gut microbiota composition in early childhood.
