"Type 1 Diabetes: Pathogenesis, Genetics and Immunotherapy" ed. by David Wagner

This book is a compilation of reviews about the pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes. This book provides apt descriptions of cutting edge technologies and applications in the ever going search for treatments and cure for diabetes.

Areas including T cell development, innate immune responses, imaging of pancreata, potential viral initiators, etc. are considered.
