Abstract:
Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often experience gastrointestinal enteropathy (DE) of unclear etiology. Now in Cell Stem Cell, D'Addio et al. (2015) utilize organoid culture models to study the roles of stem cells in DE and show that circulating IGF/IGFBP3 controls colonic stem cell function during homeostasis and in T1D patients.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
