Antibodies to the Mr 64,000 (64K) protein in islet cell antibody positive non-diabetic individuals indicate high risk for impaired Beta-cell function [PDF]
A prospective study of a normal childhood population identified 44 islet cell antibody positive individuals. These subjects were typed for HLA DR and DQ alleles and investigated for the presence of antibodies to the Mr 64,000 (64K) islet cell antigen ...

Car@PLGA-NPs target gut microbiota-ER stress axis to combat diabetes
BackgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated that carvacrol (Car) ameliorates vascular and hepatic injury in db/db mice, but its low bioavailability limits clinical translation.MethodsTo address this, this study constructed carvacrol-loaded polymeric ...
