Partner Spotlight

The Mendez National Institute of Transplantation (MNIT) is a public non-profit organization. MNIT plays a critical role in identifying donors who have type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies, but no clinical symptoms of the disease. This is achieved through two serological tests that look for antibodies (GAD Ab and IA-2 Ab) that indicate an autoimmune attack has been initiated and that the insulin producing cells of the pancreas are under siege. Gifts from this group of donors will help scientists study the autoimmune process at the very earliest stages of beta-cell destruction and bring us closer to a cure for type 1 diabetes.
