Nature’s interactive Milestones in Diabetes timeline highlights the discoveries that have shaped our understanding, treatment, and management of diabetes , from the discovery of insulin to advances in genetics, immunology, medicine, and diabetes technology. It makes a century of scientific progress accessible and easy to explore.
One featured milestone is the 2019 TEDDY study, led by Vehik and colleagues. TEDDY investigates the genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to type 1 diabetes. The study identified an association between prolonged Enterovirus B infection and islet autoimmunity in genetically susceptible children.
This research connects closely to ENT1DEP’s own investigation into how enterovirus infections may contribute to type 1 diabetes, and how this knowledge could support future prevention strategies.
