Current Vaccination Practice in Diabetic (Diabetes I) Patients

Resumo

The worldwide prevalence of diabetes, an endocrine condition, is rising quickly. The alarming rise of diabetes in recent years has emerged as a major contributor to premature death and illness among persons of working age. The potential use of immunomodulatory drugs to prevent diabetes has been a source of worry in light of recent advances in our understanding of the role of autoimmune responses in the development of diabetes. Vaccines can work in a variety of ways, including by eliminating autoreactive T-cells or by blocking the connections between immune cells. Most diabetes vaccines that have been created so far have only been evaluated in animal models, with just a small number having undergone successful human trials. In this article, the authors also look at the clinical trial research that are currently being conducted to create a prototype diabetes vaccine.
