Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease of the beta cells of the pancreas. The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a commonly used animal model, with roughly an 80% incidence rate of T1D among females. In 100% of NOD mice, macrophages and T-cells invade the islets in a process called insulitis. It can be several weeks between insulitis and T1D, and some mice do not progress at all. It is thought that this delay is mediated by regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and that a gradual loss of…

Using Sliding Mode Controller and Eligibility Traces for Controlling the Blood Glucose in Diabetic Patients at the Presence of Fault
TLDR
Simulation results reveal that the combination of the eligibility traces algorithm and the sliding mode control can control the blood glucose level and insulin with a higher speed and bring them to the desired level, even in the case the sensor and actuator faults are present in the system.
Title : Feasible Performance Evaluations of Digitally-Controlled Auxiliary Resonant Commutation Snubber-Assisted Three Phase Vo
In this paper, the main focus is on blood glucose level control and the possible sensor and actuator faults which can be observed in a given system. To this aim, the eligibility traces algorithm (a…

Modelling the onset of Type 1 diabetes: can impaired macrophage phagocytosis make the difference between health and disease?
TLDR
It is shown that the original Copenhagen model fails to explain observed phenomena within a reasonable range of parameter values, predicting an unrealistic all-or-none disease occurrence for both strains of NOD and Balb/c mice.
Modeling Cyclic Waves of Circulating T Cells in Autoimmune Diabetes
TLDR
It is shown that cycles similar to those observed experimentally can occur when activation of T cells is an increasing function of self‐antigen level, whereas the production of memory cells ...
Transgenic Expression of Mouse Proinsulin II Prevents Diabetes in Nonobese Diabetic Mice
IDDM in humans and in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice is a T-cell–dependent autoimmune disease in which the β-cells of the pancreatic islets are destroyed. Several putative β-cell autoantigens have been…
The NOD mouse: a model of immune dysregulation.
TLDR
In this review, many of the important features of disease development and progression in the NOD strain are summarized, emphasizing the role of central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms that affect diabetes in these mice.
IL-2 reverses established type 1 diabetes in NOD mice by a local effect on pancreatic regulatory T cells
TLDR
It is shown that 5 d of low-dose IL-2 administration starting at the time of T1D onset can reverse established disease in NOD (nonobese diabetic) mice, with long-lasting effects.
Early window of diabetes determinism in NOD mice, dependent on the complement receptor CRIg, identified by noninvasive imaging
TLDR
It is shown here that diabetes is set at an early age in NOD mice, and previously unknown molecular and cellular elements correlated with disease protection are identified, including the complement receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily (CRIg), which marked a subset of macrophages associated with diabetes resistance.
β-Cell Mass and Type 1 Diabetes
TLDR
Residual β-cells play a significant role for the design of therapeutic trials: they not only may respond to combination therapies that include stimulants of metabolic function but are also the potential source of newβ-cells.

Increased beta-cell proliferation and reduced mass before diabetes onset in the nonobese diabetic mouse.
TLDR
It is suggested that in the NOD mouse, beta-cell destruction begins soon after the onset of insulitis, andBeta-cell mass progressively falls and is significantly reduced by 13 weeks despite normal blood glucose concentrations, suggesting diabetes may be present when residual beta- cell mass represents 30% of control levels.
Progression of autoimmune diabetes driven by avidity maturation of a T-cell population
TLDR
It is concluded that avidity maturation of pathogenic T-cell populations may be the key event in the progression of benign inflammation to overt disease in autoimmunity.
