Why the study?
Does Coxsackievirus B infection induce cytokine and chemokine expression in INS-1 beta cells?
Does Coxsackievirus B infection induce cytokine and chemokine expression in INS-1 beta cells?
Coxsackievirus B infection induces dose-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production in beta cells, suggesting a potential mechanism for enterovirus-induced beta cell damage in type 1 diabetes.
