A novel amino acid scaffold protein reversed type 1 diabetes in mice with or without insulin
Insulin treats type 1 diabetes (T1D) but with detrimental effects. Here we designed and tested AAC2 and insulin combination that overcame limitations of insulin therapy in mice with T1D. Remarkably, AAC2 without insulin also improved glucose metabolism and survival in T1D mice. Insulin/AAC2 therapy could be translated for treatment of T1D patients.
