Abstract:Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease that develops due to the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas by the immune system. Cow milk is one of the dietary factors associated with the development of T1DM, as it contains proteins that may trigger the autoimmune response. Studies in silico have investigated the molecular mimicry mechanisms between cow milk proteins and human beta-cell antigens which may contribute to the development of T1DM in susceptible indi… Show more
