Track: Understanding Diabetes: Pathophysiology and Mechanisms

Diabetes Congress 2025

Pathophysiology of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Delving into the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells in Type 1 diabetes and insulin resistance mechanisms in Type 2 diabetes.
Discussing the role of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and lifestyle influences in the development of both types of diabetes.

Insulin Resistance and Impaired Insulin Secretion
Examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to insulin resistance in peripheral tissues (muscle, liver, adipose tissue).
Investigating impaired insulin secretion from the pancreas, including the dysfunction of beta cells and the influence of the islet microenvironment.

Molecular Mechanisms of Diabetic Complications
Exploring the mechanisms behind diabetic microvascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy.
Understanding macrovascular complications like cardiovascular diseases and their connection to metabolic dysregulation and inflammation.

Endocrine and Metabolic Interactions in Diabetes
Discussing the role of other hormones (such as glucagon, cortisol, and growth hormone) in regulating glucose homeostasis.
Examining the complex interplay between insulin and other metabolic pathways in maintaining metabolic balance.

Advances in Diabetes Research: From Bench to Bedside
Presenting cutting-edge research on new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for diabetes.
Highlighting the latest developments in gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and drug delivery systems to improve diabetes management.

Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Immune Dysregulation
Investigating the contribution of chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress to the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications.
Exploring the role of immune cells and cytokines in the development of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction.
