Transplanted islet cells were biochemically modified to protect their own long term engraftment in a mouse pancreas.  These cells have the super-ability to cause apoptosis to occur in the infiltrating pathogenic T cells.  This is a novel approach to diabetes treatment!  ”Pancreatic Islets Engineered with SA-FasL Protein Establish Robust Localized Tolerance by Inducing Regulatory T
