A new University of Sydney study has found that having Type 1 diabetes alters the normal communication between the human central nervous system and bone marrow, causing inflammatory effects and further disease.
The study, published in the American Journal of Pathology, demonstrated a previously unrecognized link between bone marrow and the central nervous system in both people and rodents with Type 1 diabetes, which in turn affects their immune systems.
The researchers showed that Type 1 diabetes modulates the nerve supply and immune function of the bone marrow. This altered communication leads to an increase in the level of monocytes (white cells) being produced by the bone marrow in both human and rodents with Type 1 diabetes.
