Investigating the Biological Mechanisms underlying the Initiation of Autoimmunity against Beta Cell Antigens in Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by circulating autoantibodies, lymphocytic infiltration of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, and cell-specific destruction of beta cells, leading to insulin deficiency and symptomatic hyperglycemi ...

Complex event recognition through wearable sensors

Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier

Complex events are instrumental in understanding advanced behaviours and properties of a system. They can represent more meaningful events as compared to simple events. In this thesis we propose to use wearable sensor signals to detect complex events. Thes ...

The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase SIRT2 attenuates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and improves insulin sensitivity in hepatocytes

Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva

Insulin resistance is a major predictor of the development of metabolic disorders. Sirtuins (SIRTs) have emerged as potential targets that can be manipulated to counteract age-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes. SIRT2 has been recently shown to ex ...

Semantic representation and processing of hypoglycemic events derived from wearable sensor data

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier

Diabetes Type 1 is a metabolic disease which results in a lack of insulin production, causing high glucose levels in the blood. It is crucial for diabetic patients to balance this glucose level, and they depend on external substances to do so. In order to ...

Longitudinal three-dimensional visualisation of autoimmune diabetes by functional optical coherence imaging

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Martin Villiger, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Arno Pino Bouwens, Corinne Berclaz, Joan Goulley, Jérôme Extermann

Aims/hypothesis It is generally accepted that structural and functional quantitative imaging of individual islets would be beneficial to elucidate the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. We here introduce functional optical coherence imaging (FOCI) for fast, ...

Aberrant Accumulation of the Diabetes Autoantigen GAD65 in Golgi Membranes in Conditions of ER Stress and Autoimmunity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Chiara Cianciaruso, Edward Allen Phelps, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan

Pancreatic islet β-cells are particularly susceptible to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is implicated in β-cell dysfunction and loss during the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The peripheral membrane protein GAD65 is an autoantigen in huma ...

A Therapy Parameter-based Model for Predicting Blood Glucose Concentrations in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

Denis Gillet, Grégory François, Alain Bock

In this paper, the problem of predicting blood glucose concentrations (BG) for the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes, is addressed. Predicting BG is of very high importance as most treatments, which consist in exogenous insulin injections, rely on ...

REST represses a subset of the pancreatic endocrine differentiation program

Anne Grapin-Botton, Yung Hae Kim

To contribute to devise successful beta-cell differentiation strategies for the cure of Type 1 diabetes we sought to uncover barriers that restrict endocrine fate acquisition by studying the role of the transcriptional repressor REST in the developing panc ...

Metabolic Alterations Associated to Brain Dysfunction in Diabetes

João Miguel das Neves Duarte

From epidemiological studies it is known that diabetes patients display increased risk of developing dementia. Moreover, cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are also accompanied by impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin signalling. Although ...

Estimating reliability of blood glucose concentration predictions in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Denis Gillet, Grégory François, Alain Bock

Blood glucose concentrations of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are subject to very high inter- and intra-patient variability. This variability may be detrimental to the reliability of the treatment, thus resulting in potentially frequent hypo- or h ...

TGR5 reduces macrophage migration through mTOR-induced C/EBP beta differential translation

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols

The bile acid-responsive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 is involved in several metabolic processes, and recent studies suggest that TGR5 activation may promote pathways that are protective against diet-induced diabetes. Here, we investigated the role of m ...

Proangiogenic Hydrogels Within Macroporous Scaffolds Enhance Islet Engraftment in an Extrahepatic Site

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The transplantation of allogeneic islets in recent clinical trials has shown substantial promise as a therapy for type 1 diabetes; however, long-term insulin independence remains inadequate. This has been largely attributed to the current intravascular, he ...
