Summary:
BBC News reports:
"A mother's cells may try to repair the tissue damage in an unborn child that can result in type 1 diabetes, research suggests. US and UK researchers found unusually high levels of maternal DNA in children with type 1 diabetes - an indication of cell transfer from the mother. They also found these cells could go on to produce insulin, the hormone lacking in type 1 diabetes."
