Peripherally-induced regulatory T cells contribute to the control of autoimmune diabetes
2017-10-07
Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and is partly caused by deficiencies in the Foxp3 + regulatory T cell (Treg) compartment. Conversely, therapies that increase Treg function can prevent autoimmune diabetes in animal models. The majority of Tregs develop in the thymus (tTregs), but a proportion of Foxp3 + Tregs is generated in the periphery (pTregs) from Foxp3...
