Alesha White Introduction. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune condition that depletes b cell mass and insulin production thus rendering patients incapable of regulating glucose levels1-4. Patients often present with symptoms between the ages of 5 and 7 […]
Neha Ali Introduction. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in men and women in the USA. However, the risk of developing CV disease increases among women following menopause5. With increasing life expectancy, women may spend more than three […]
Haseeb Khatri Introduction: Insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells play a large role in maintaining glucose homeostasis.1 Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease that impacts this homeostasis by destroying β cells, leading to hyperglycemia.2 Uncontrolled blood […]
Haley Griffin Introduction: Breast cancer is the predominant cancer and second cause of death due to women. The mammary epithelium undergoes extensive changes throughout a women’s life, and these developmental alterations are associated with progesterone and estrogen. As a result, […]
Gina Do Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an autoimmune disease where the host’s immune system attacks pancreatic β-cells, causing insufficient insulin production and, therefore, hyperglycemia1. Symptomatic progression of T1D often occurs during childhood and adolescence, with new diagnoses […]

Robert Leonard Introduction: Type I diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease where self-reactive T cells damage insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells resulting in hyperglycemia1. The etiology is unclear but evidence suggests it arises from an environmental trigger with genetic predisposition1. […]
