Assessment:

I am currently researching the replication and reproduction of the damaged pancreatic beta cells. However, if I want to figure out how to prevent the production of these cells, then I have to look at what might be speeding up the replication process. This is why I chose the article called, “New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes after COVID-19 MRNA Vaccination.” This article talks about the replication of the pancreatic cells. It talks about how if one person has not yet been diagnosed with type 1, they might already be reproducing the malfunctioning pancreatic cells. Taking the recent COVID Vaccine has allowed for the remodeling of the beta cells. This means that it allows for the malfunctioning cells to reproduce the cells quicker. 

While reading this article it made me think about how the cells have learned to remodel themselves. I also thought about how the remodeling comes into play as it was something I researched previously. Something that I find interesting is that the remodeling of the cells allows the cells to just change their replication process to increase speed. I wonder how often the remodeling occurs. This also means that there could be new types of stages of Diabetes. I also wonder if these “new types”’ will be much different than the original or if there would only be slight changes.

All of these thoughts have led me to question how there has been a change in the DNA of the pancreatic cells for them to malfunction then to replicate to make more. Another question that I have is what the vaccines have that speed up this process. This would mean that people that get Diabetes, they will suddenly have to adjust to the blood sugars and their new condition. This would lead to higher rates of hyperglycemia and nerve damage if one is not careful or ready to take care of their diabetes, then it could also lead to nerve damage.

To further my knowledge of these thoughts and questions, I would start to research how the remodeling of the cells can also lead to nerve damage. Another thing I would research in the future would be if vaccines could also lead to nerve damage and if it speeds up the reproduction and the replication of those cells, and if that is the reason why people may lose sensation in their limbs due to the nerve failure. I also want to research some other symptoms that may be due to the remodeling of the beta cells. I would also like to further my research by looking at gestational diabetes because I haven’t looked much into that than I have with type 1 diabetes. This is because gestational diabetes mostly only happens for a period of time and leaves once a woman leaves pregnancy. So I want to research her cells and also see if they remodel and if they go back to the way they were after she no longer has gestational diabetes. This is what I would like to look into in the future because this would significantly impact my research.
