So my wife is a t1d for the last 36 years. The work we both believe in is a biological cure. I.e. identify the pathogen that triggers t1d developing a vaccine . As well as finding a cure for the people who are already sick. There is almost no incentive for any pharmaceutical company to pursue this , T1D drugs make them gobs of cash.

- rcxdude 2y agoIs there much plausibility of such a cure? The problem is autoimmune AFAIK (maybe triggered by an infection), and once it happens the relevant cells are dead and it'd take both regrowing them and immunotherapy.
