After all, type 1 diabetes may be two different diseases

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 13:00

A large-scale genetic study, conducted by research teams from the United States of America and the United Kingdom, revealed that type 1 diabetes may not be a single disease, but rather two distinct diseases.

The research analyzed genetic data from a large number of participants to identify patterns that may explain the differences in how the disease manifests in patients.

If this discovery is confirmed by additional studies, this distinction may have significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of type 1 diabetes, allowing more personalized approaches for each subtype of the disease.

Researchers have discovered that bumblebees were already the main pollinators of linden trees approximately 24 million years ago, during the Cenozoic. The flowers of these trees emit an intense fragrance that especially attracts bees and bumblebees, and this mutualistic relationship between insects and plants of the genus Tilia has remained virtually unchanged over millions of years.
