In recognition of #WorldDiabetesDay, we’re revisiting this #HowCellsWork episode, which looks at how immune tolerance therapies could change the treatment paradigm for #Type1Diabetes & improve patient quality of life. Cc @JDRF

Hi everyone and welcome to #cellstories! Our goal is to make biology accessible, educate on how disease biology works and address areas of interest in the field. Target audience: everyone EXCEPT the experts ;) For #AACR here is our first episode #biotech #humanhealth #medicine

There are 2 major types of #tcells: i) CD8 T cells, aka killer T cells, specialize in finding and killing intruders. ii) CD4 T Cells, or helper #t cells, provide a variety of support functions to tune the activity of other #immune cells. #cellstories

Natural Killer (#nkcells) are #immunesystem early responders. They're usually first on scene when something seems wrong. NK cells can immediately start fighting any suspicious characters and sound the alarm to attract more targeted special forces, like #tcells! #cellstories

#Monocytes patrol the body for suspicious activity and can then transform into #antigenpresentingcells that activate more specialized #immunesystem defenses! #cellstories

How do #tcells figure out who to kill? The specialized MHC-I receptors are critical to showing T cells foreign invaders within a #cell. #CD8 T cells rely on this receptor to identify which cells are infected and attack!

While our #immunesystem is very powerful, #cancer can be tricky to fight. Cancerous cells are very similar to normal cells and hard to detect by an immune system that evolved to fight infectious diseases, e.g. viruses, which are obviously foreign. #cellstories

While #chemotherapy treatments have made a big difference for many #cancer patients, they can be an imperfect solution to a complex problem. #celltherapies #cancertreatments #cellstories

#Tumors are very good at creating an #immune suppressive #microenvironment to protect themselves against attack. A key challenge for cancer drug developers! #cellstories

Some methods of fighting #cancer try to re-awaken the #immune cells already in the #tumor! But these #TIL therapies have their challenges. #cellstories

#stemcells can turn into any cell type in our body. Hence an invaluable potential resource for treating a broad range of #diseases. Their sources started off controversial but now they can be created in the lab to create new #therapies. #regenerativemedicine #cellstories

If the #biomedical field can develop better ways to engineer #stemcells, then we may be able to unlock many new #therapeutics to treat neurodegeneration, cardiac disorders and other diseases! #cellstories by Armon Sharei and Shirley Mao
