[Northerner]

Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology have proven -- for the first time in human tissues -- the specific immune system T cells which trigger the *destruction of type 1 diabetes in the pancreas. The finding is an important advance that verifies in humans several important disease characteristics shown in mouse studies and provides a key focal point for interrupting the disease process.
