A DELICATE BALANCE - Part 2


A look at the body’s immune system


The body’s immune system is an extremely complex network of different types of cells working together to fight disease. When something like bacteria or a cold virus infects the body, it invades healthy cells and takes over. In response to this invasion, the body recognizes these invaders as foreign and marshals a large arsenal of forces to kill the invading organism and the cells it has invaded. Scientists still have a lot to learn about exactly how the immune system works, but some of the key types of cells and their functions have been identified.


There are several different types of cells involved in the immune system response. T cells (or T lymphocytes), seem to be largely in charge of the immune system, telling other types of cells to mount an attack.


How does the process cause diabetes? Basically, the immune system makes the mistake of thinking an insulin-producing cell is a foreign invader and T-cells activate an attack against them, killing off the healthy islet cells instead of just killing invading organisms.
