Type 1 diabetes is characterized by a complete ... these receptors is disrupted in diabetes. Many classes of cell surface receptors exist, the largest of which is the GPCR family.

The results, published in a preprint on bioRxiv April 21, show that such cells are strikingly abundant. Many are epithelial cells, which line the outer surface of organs. The new findings add to an ...

They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to sense and respond to diverse types of infection. T cell responses can be ...
