Cell Press Rather than a behavioral signal (like diabetes distress scales), DRiP in this context is a molecular emergency beacon generated inside the cells. Beyond Type 1 +1 How the DRiP Distress Signal Works Beta-Cell Stress: When insulin-producing beta cells are placed under high physiological stress (due to inflammation, high demand, or viral infections), their internal machinery becomes overwhelmed. Cell Press Miscalibrated Protein Synthesis: This cellular strain causes the ribosomes (the cell's protein builders) to mak
