Could a Vaccine Prevent Type 1 Diabetes?

The video explores the potential for a vaccine against Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), a non-infectious disease. It discusses the differences between T1D and Type 2 Diabetes, highlighting genetic and environmental factors that contribute to T1D. The video delves into the role of enteroviruses in potentially triggering T1D and the challenges in proving this link in humans. It reviews research efforts, including studies on mice and the exploration of existing vaccines like the polio vaccine. Although no effective human vaccine exists yet, ongoing research, particularly on the CVB vaccine, offers hope for future prevention of T1D.
