Functional validation of FoxP3 target genes in human regulatory T cells

使用基于DNA的技术，我们专注于被称为调节性T细胞的罕见白色血细胞。这些细胞是免疫系统的警察，负责维持平衡的免疫反应，并防止对无害物质的攻击。这些细胞可以预防健康个体的自身免疫性疾病，只有首先了解它们是如何正常工作的，我们才能研究和纠正自身免疫性疾病（如1型糖尿病）的缺陷。

Using DNA based technologies we have focused on rare white blood cells known as regulatory T cells. These cells are policeman of the immune system and are responsible for maintaining balanced immune reactions, and preventing attack against harmless substances. These cells prevent autoimmune disease in healthy individuals, and only by first understanding how they work normally can we investigate and correct the defects in autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes.
