Brief Summary: This register-based cohort study compared the familial aggregation and heritability of childhood-onset (≤18 years) vs. adult-onset (19-30 years) type 1 diabetes (T1D), using data collected from over 2.9 million individuals born in Sweden between 1982-2010, and from their relatives. Adult-onset T1D showed weaker familial aggregation and lower heritability than childhood-onset T1D.Although T1D is considered a typical childhood...

Brief summary: In this experimental study, a transdermal polymeric microneedle (MN) patch for glucose-responsive closed-loop insulin and glucagon delivery was developed. In chemically-induced type 1 diabetes (T1D) mouse and minipig models, this glucose-responsive dual-hormone MN patch demonstrated tight regulation in blood glucose.The interplay between insulin and glucagon is essential for blood glucose regulation in individuals with or without diabetes....
