Brief description Autoimmune diseases impose an increasingly large health burden. Treg cells prevents the immune system from attacking “self” offering the promise of using these cells to restore immune balance in autoimmune diseases. However, there are currently no protocols that reliably modify Treg cell numbers. This study will elucidate the mechanisms that govern Treg cell survival and death, revealing potential molecular targets to manipulate the quality and quantity of Treg cell for therapeutic benefit.
