Comprehensive factors affecting β-cell protection and therapy in LADA patients. β-cell function in LADA patients can be affected by cellular, humoral, and innate immunity. Additionally, studies have shown that age of onset, body mass index, environmental factors, genetic background, hypoglycemic agents, and immune intervention can also play an important role in β-cell damage in patients with LADA. In the future, β-cell dedifferentiation, regeneration, and β-cell replacement may be a promising approach to cure LADA patients. NK cell, natural killer cell; TZDs, thiazolidinediones; DPP4i, dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor; GLP1-RA, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist; SGLT2i, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor.
