Inflammatory and immune etiology of type 2 diabetes
Trends in Immunology
Highlights
-
A specific type 2 diabetes (T2D) patient endotype, termed ‘severe insulin resistant’, is characterized by an atypical blood inflammatory response.
-
Immune predisposition might modulate pancreatic insulin secretion and insulin effects on metabolic organs such as the liver and adipose tissue.
-
Monocyte and macrophage activation might be used as a putative surrogate for tissue alterations in T2D.
-
The identification of early monocyte- and macrophage-specific biomarkers is required to assign an ‘inflammatory-mediated T2D’ endotype.
Abstract
Keywords
- type 2 diabetes

A new article from Cécile Haumaitre and collaborators discusses the origin of pancreatic lesions associated with pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. It is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030. Unfortunately, PDAC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Since the most common precancerous lesions of PDAC are currently not clinically detectable, understanding the mechanisms that lead to their formation and progression is crucial to enabling early diagnosis and more effective therapeutic intervention.
