Mice Protected from Type 1 Diabetes Using Immune-Cell-Regulating Peptide

Medical Care, Medicine, Tech /

According to recent research in live mice and human cells in culture, the peptide MOTS-c has shown promise in preventing type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases may be treated as a consequence of the peptide’s apparent control over the body’s immune system. When an individual’s immune system assaults the insulin-producing beta
