Nervous system disorder is the cause of type 1 diabetes?

So far, doctors have confirmed that the cause of type 1 diabetes is because pancreatic cells that produce insulin fail after the immune system is working poorly.

Other Canadian researchers from the Toronto Children's Hospital and the University of Calgary have made another assumption. They claim that the nervous system plays a role in the emergence of type 1 diabetes.

Researchers have found that pancreatic cells are damaged by disordered pancreatic nerve fibers. Diabetes is not only caused by the disorder of the immune system, but also by the intervention of nerve cells.

Tests in mice have shown that, when these nerve fibers are removed, insulin-producing cells are not destroyed and diabetes has not developed.

The researchers also noted that injecting P into cells in pancreatic islets stops the destruction of these cells, and may even help prevent the development of diabetes.

According to Dr. Pere Santamaria, lead the study, the finding is an important breakthrough in understanding diabetes triggers.
