Abstract
- The TYK2 gene is associated with development of type 1 diabetes. Here the authors show that TYK2 regulates β-cell development, but at the same time TYK2 inhibition in the islets prevents IFNα responses and enhances their survival against CD8+ T-cell cytotoxicity; representing a potent therapeutic target to halt T1D progression.
