Brief Summary: The authors performed exploratory analyses to identify distinct eGFR trajectories associated with risk of albuminuria in 377 adolescents with T2D. The findings underscore the importance of annual GFR assessments in young people with T2D.Comment: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the primary microvascular complication in adolescents with T2D, and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Albuminuria is the earliest clinical indicator of...

Brief summary: This study used high-resolution single-cell multiomics and flow cytometry on blood samples from patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to examine the effects of low-dose recombinant IL-2 (iLD-IL-2). Administration of iLD-IL-2 expanded thymic-derived FOXP3+HELIOS+ Tregs and CD56bright NK cells, reduced frequency of IL-21-producing CD4+T cells, and induced long-lived anti-inflammatory transcriptional changes in all T and NK...
