Distinct neutrophil counts and functions in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, and type 2 diabetes

摘要

Recent discoveries from animal models demonstrated that neutrophils can induce type 1 diabetes (T1D) through infiltrating into the islets. However, the evidence of their actions in T1D patients is relatively rare, and the change trend of neutrophil numbers and functions in different subtypes of diabetes has not been investigated.
