Imaging mass cytometry reveals functional and immunological changes during type 1 diabetes progression in human pancreata - PubMed

The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, particularly at autoantibody-positive preclinical stages, remains poorly understood, in part due to limited sample availability. Here we show imaging mass cytometry data of pancreas samples from 88 organ donors, including 28 single and 10 multiple autoantibody-po …
