“…Although the clinical symptoms of T1DM differ from those of MS, such as pancreatic β-cell failure in T1DM and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS) in MS, both pathologies are considered as autoimmune-related diseases with shared pathogenic pathways, which include autophagy, inflammation and degeneration, among others. Considering the challenges in obtaining pancreatic β-cells and CNS tissue from patients with T1DM and MS, respectively, it is fundamental to explore alternative methods for evaluating disease status. …”
