Collaborated with many excellent scientists to publish this review in @NatureRevEndo on harnessing cellular therapeutics for type 1 diabetes mellitus https://t.co/MNFeCHTHVD

[Andrew Pepper @PepperLab_UofA]

@JimJohnsonSci @Jordanmw36 @IsletTx @GKorbutt Agreed. Certainly CNIs. Rapa seems to have puzzling effects based on dose and time of exposure

[Andrew Pepper @PepperLab_UofA]

Huge congrats @Jordanmw36 on successfully defending your MSc, which explored the impact of localized rapamycin delivery on islet graft function. So proud of you! Thanks to examiners ⁦@IsletTx⁩, ⁦@GKorbutt⁩ and Dr. Jessica Yue.⁦🎉

[Andrew Pepper @PepperLab_UofA]

@JimJohnsonSci @Jordanmw36 @IsletTx @GKorbutt And immune system…much work to be done :)

[Andrew Pepper @PepperLab_UofA]

@JimJohnsonSci @Jordanmw36 @IsletTx @GKorbutt In allografts low dose induced long-term operational tolerance and improved glucose clearance compared to non-diabetic mice. B6(recipients) have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity post-rapa. Likely pleiotropic effects at play on islet graft, recipient glucose update
