Clinical and Translational Studies Advancing Clinical Implementation of Stem Cell-Derived Islet Transplantation
DownloadSpring 2024
Twenty-years ago Shapiro et al. revolutionized islet transplantation (ITx), realizing the potential for a cell-based diabetes treatment. Despite improvements, ITx remains restricted by organ donor limitations and immunosuppression. Stem cell (SC)-derived ITx (SC Tx) could eliminate these...

"We discovered that rare mutations in LMNA, which encodes lamins A and C, underlie autosomal dominant Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy. Because familial partial lipodystrophy is an extreme example of genetically disturbed adipocyte differentiation, it is possible that common variation...

Contributions of Bim and Nur77 to multiple mechanisms of T cell tolerance following high affinity antigen encounter
DownloadSpring 2015
Prevention of autoimmune disease requires the elimination or inactivation of T cells that are highly reactive to self-peptides. During T cell development in the thymus, self-reactive thymocytes undergo negative selection upon receiving a high affinity T cell receptor (TCR) signal following...
