Presentation / Conference
Al Azzawi, B., Merkhan, M. M., Kelly, C., & Forsyth, N. (2016, March). Mesenchymal stem cell derived products attenuate cytokine-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells. Poster presented at Abstracts of the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2016, Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow, Scotland

Aims:Cytokine-driven beta cell apoptosis is central to Type 1diabetes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cellswith significant immunomodulatory capacity, which counteractautoimmunityand enhance islet engraftment and survival. The aimof th...
