While viral+ cells within islets are a rare phenomenon, they were seen more frequently in proximity to the islets, that is, within three layers next to insulin+ β cells in T1D and, even in this analysis in T2D, viral RNA+ cells were 35-fold more frequent in the islet periphery than within islets and fivefold more than in the exocrine pancreas (then normalized to the respective area as presented in Figures 1D–F). Here, INS is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
