With Give to the Max Day approaching on November 18th we thought it would be a good time for an update on what we have been working at CADRe! Use the following link to donate to CADRe https://makingagift.umn.edu/give/fund.html?id=20624

Dr. Brian Fife's laboratory is engineering antigen-specific regulatory T cells to act as mediators of insulin-producing beta cell destruction for treatment of type 1 autoimmune diabetes. Such therapies are not currently available, but if successful, would enable clinicians to treat autoimmune diabetes.

Dr. Danial Mueller's laboratory is studying mechanisms to detect the disease-causing immune cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Such methods are not currently available, but if successful, would help scientists to better understand the causes of RA.

Today at the annual American College of Rheumatology conference two abstracts will be presented by members of the UMN Rheumatology team!

Sahar Lotfi-Emran and David Masopust's presentation on "Joint CD8+ Tissue Resident Memory Cell Activation Produces Local Inflammatory Arthritis, Abstract Number 1510"
(https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/joint-cd8-tissue-resident-memory-cell-activation-produces-local-inflammatory-arthritis/)

And Philip Titcombe, Milagros Silva Morales and Daniel Mueller's abstract on "Epigenetic and Transcriptional Programs of CD4+ T Cell Anergy, Abstract Number 1512"(https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/epigenetic-and-transcriptional-programs-of-cd4-t-cell-anergy/)

Background/Purpose: Following infection, resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) populate tissues as long lived sentinel cells. Their aberrant activation can trigger relapsing inflammation in autoimmune diseases with a strong site- and tissue-specific component such as inflammatory arthritis. Virus speci...
