Check out our review on interactions between Tregs and APCs. We discuss how APCs shape Treg development and function, and how knowledge of these interactions can be harnessed to design cellular therapies.

Our new review on CAR-Tregs is out. Building a CAR-Treg: Going from the basic to the luxury model https://t.co/zFS4irKpwR

[Megan Levings @mklevings]

And it's finally out! If you thought that CAR-Tregs would be just like CAR-T cells, think again. Great collaboration with @SangamoTx @JaDaFo

.@DanWu_PhD, @mklevings and colleagues @BCCHresearch @UBCmedicine @BME_UBC show that insulin receptor deletion in T regs improves metabolic outcomes in models of diet- and age-induced obesity and hyperinsulinemia https://t.co/SqLtlaMU2H

My life in 7 pictures. Some home creations for days 2-3. I was challenged by @kirstwh.

My life in 7 pictures. Day 1 - no words, no people & challenge a new person every day. I was challenged by @kirstwh. I challenge @akunitsk.

Great opportunity to learn more about the process of translating regenerative medicine research to a commercial product. I really enjoyed attending this workshop last year!

[Medicine by Design @MbD_CCRM]

We are now accepting applications for Summer by Design, our 2-week workshop for PhD candidates & post-docs on translating and commercializing #regenmed research. Apply by Feb. 21: https://t.co/13Au737rzr. In partnership with @CCRM_ca @StemCellNetwork @rotmanschool.

Our Treg manufacturing paper is online! In it we describe developing protocols to isolate and expand Tregs from pediatric thymus.
