Inducing plasticity to prime immune system for CAR-Treg therapy
Project ID: D2022-28 Background Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the critical regulators of peripheral immune tolerance; when defective, Tregs can lead to autoimmune disorders, such as Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) A more recent approach to prevent/treat autoimmunity is to refit immune cells towards their non-inflammatory phenotype in the affected organ. Chimeric...

Spontaneous Type I Diabetes Mouse Model
Project ID: D2015-60 Background Although the NOD mouse is the current standard for studies of type I diabetes (T1D), no curative therapies resulting from this model have passed clinical trials. Knock in/out models cannot be used to mimic the total pathophysiology of diabetes. In order to develop a cure for T1D, there is a need for an animal model...
