Your generous support of the Tang Lab contributes to a better understanding of immunoregulation and the prevention of transplant rejection and diabetes.
The immune system safeguards our bodies against
infections and cancers, but also causes autoimmuine diseases and
rejection of transplanted organs. One of the fundamental
properties of the immune system is the ability to regulate its own
activities; this self-control prevents it from attacking healthy
tissues and compels it to contract after successful elimination of
the eliciting pathogens. Our research seeks to better
understand the mechanisms of immunoregulation, with the hopes of
applying it to the prevention of transplant rejection and
diabetes.
