Arstila Group -Presentation

ResearchThe overall goal of our ongoing research is to characterize in detail the origin and consequences of the T cell dysregulation in APECED. Our work on T cell development and homeostasis in healthy donors will contribute to this goal by providing new
information on the pathways likely to affected by the absence of functional AIRE. In particular, the thymic expression of AIRE suggests that the defects in APECED patients arise already during T cell development, a notion strongly supported by murine studies.
