CXCR4 and ROBO-1 are biomarkers associated with type 1 diabetes. Expression of CXCR4 and ROBO-1 in peripheral CD3 T cells is substantially higher in patients with autoimmune diabetes (type 1 diabetes) than in non-diabetic patients. Therapies are disclosed for reducing the progression of type 1 diabetes, and to reduce the risk of developing type 1 diabetes in patients who are at risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

CXCR4 and ROBO1 expression as markers for autoimmune diabetes

A hydrogen sulfide (HS) detecting apparatus for measuring the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide species in a given sample is disclosed. The hydrogen sulfide detecting apparatus can comprise a plurality of reaction chambers separated from a plurality of trapping chambers by a (HS) permeable membrane, with the reaction chambers and trapping chambers each having buffer component(s) and/or reactive agents that expose the incoming sample to a particular pH and chemical environment in order to allow for the selective liberation and trapping of hydrogen sulfide from the sample.
