Dissecting the effector/regulatory compartments in the target tissues of T1D

An altered balance between pathogenic and regulatory pathways in autoimmunity has been hypothesized and at times demonstrated in peripheral blood of patients with type 1 diabetes. However, our knowledge in humans at the sites of the autoimmune attack (i.e., the pancreas) is scanty. Studies generated in our lab. demonstrate that FOXP3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells, […]
