Abstract excerpt
Stem cell-based replacement therapies hold the promise to restore function of damaged or degenerated tissue such as the pancreatic islets in people with type 1 diabetes. Wide application of these therapies requires overcoming the fundamental roadblock of immune rejection. To address this issue, we use genetic engineering to create human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in which the majority of the polymorphic human...
