Congratulations to UFDI researchers Laura Jacobsen, Martha Campbell-Thompson, Clive Wasserfall, Mark Atkinson, and Desmond A. Schatz on their new Perspective review published in Diabetes Care. In “Identifying the Right Diagnosis of Diabetes in Death: Unlocking a Key to Understanding Type 1 Diabetes Pathogenesis,” the authors explore how research using pancreatic tissue donated through nPOD, The Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes, is helping improve the classification of diabetes. Combining clinical data with tissue pathology and genetic information allows researchers to better distinguish between type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and monogenic diabetes. This approach can advance our understanding of disease mechanisms and support more personalized approaches to diagnosis and care.
