New circulating immune cell could help predict type 1 diabetes risk

A new Finnish study suggests that type 1 diabetes may in part be caused by a novel subset of immune cells. This is because these cells, called peripheral T helper cells, are found to circulate at a higher rate in children with type 1 diabetes of recent onset, as well as in healthy children who later develop the condition.
