... that Gian Franco Bottazzo and Deborah Doniach proved that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease? Source: "A year later Bottazzo was the lead author, and Doniach a co-author, of a landmark paper published in the Lancet, which showed for the first time that type 1 diabetes is associated with the development of antibodies directed against insulin producing β cells. In simpler terms, Bottazzo showed that type 1 diabetes was an autoimmune disease." (BMJ)

- Comment: Rephrasing to make this more interesting to a broad audience is welcome - in the field of diabetes this was a landmark discovery.

Interesting life, on few but fine sources, subscription source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook works for me. In the article: something is wrong in the sentence about him lecturing, missing "at" I assume? I could do without "together" in "together that had a child", but it's up to you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:23, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
