Abstract
Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, like other organ specific autoimmune diseases, results from a disorder of immunoregulation. T cells specific for pancreatic islet beta cell constituents (autoantigens) exist normally but are restrained by regulatory mechanisms (self-tolerant state). When regulation fails, beta cell-specific autoreactive T cells become activated and expand clonally. Current evidence indicates that islet beta cell-specific autoreactive T cells belong to a T helper 1 (Th1) subset, and these Th1 cells and their characteristic cytokine products, IFNgamma and IL-2, are believed to cause islet inflammation (insulitis) and beta cell destruction. Immune-mediated destruction of beta cells precedes hyperglycemia and clinical symptoms by many years because these become apparent only when most of the insulin-secreting beta cells have been destroyed. Therefore, several approaches are being tested or are under consideration for clinical trials to prevent or arrest complete autoimmune destruction of islet beta cells and insulin-dependent diabetes. Approaches that attempt to correct underlying immunoregulatory defects in autoimmune diabetes include interventions aimed at i) deleting beta cell autoreactive Th1 cells and cytokines (IFNgamma and IL-2) and/or ii) increasing regulatory Th2 cells and/or Th3 cells and their cytokine products (IL-4, IL-10 and TGFbeta1).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
