Type 1 Diabetes and Bacteriophages
Tetz Laboratories together with Human Microbiology Institute find the root cause of Type 1 diabetes.
We were the first to show that particularbacteriophages lead to the death of certain bacterial populations, resulting in increased PAMPs release, which triggers seroconversion and type 1 diabetes development in human leukocyte antigen-susceptible children. Tetz Laboratories is using this discovery as a platform to develop breakthrough newtherapeutic and diagnostic products.
