flag Researchers find that boosting sialic acid in insulin-producing cells may prevent type 1 diabetes.

flag Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered that a sugar molecule, sialic acid, which helps cancer cells evade the immune system, can also protect insulin-producing beta cells in type 1 diabetes. flag By engineering these cells to produce more sialic acid, they were 90% effective in preventing diabetes in preclinical models. flag This method could lead to new treatments that protect beta cells without broad immune suppression.
