Abstract

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease whose etiology involves complex interactions between the immune system and the intestinal microbiota. Recent studies by Rouxel et al. (2017) suggest that innate-like mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells) may link gut integrity, the microbiota, and T1D.
