Abstract

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disorder distinguished by the infiltration of immune cells into pancreatic islets, primarily resulting in damage to pancreatic β-cells. Despite extensive research, the precise pathogenesis of T1D remains elusive, with its etiology linked to a complex interplay of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. While genetic predispositions, such as HLA and other susceptibility genes, are necessary, they do not fully account for disease development. Environmental influences such as viral infections and dietary factors may contribute to the disease by affecting the immune system and epigenetic modifications. Additionally, endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) might play a role in T1D pathogenesis. Current therapeutic approaches, including insulin replacement therapy, immune omodulatory therapy, autoantigen immunotherapy, organ transplantation, and genetic modification, offer potential to alter disease progression but are still constrained by limitations. This review presents updated knowledge on T1D, with a focus on risk factors, predisposing hypotheses, and recent advancements in therapeutic strategies.

期刊介绍： International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome. The subject material appropriate for submission includes: • Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders. • Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state. • Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses. • Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action. • Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response. • Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active. • Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors. • Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
