    Mechanisms of diabetic autoimmunity: I—the inductive interface between islets and the immune system at onset of inflammation

    The mechanisms of autoimmune reactivity onset in type 1 diabetes (T1D) remain elusive despite extensive experimentation and discussion. We reconsider several key aspects of the early stages of autoimmunity at...
