Regulatory T cell therapy for autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases: the next frontier

FOXP3-expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for self-tolerance with an emerging role in tissue repair and regeneration. Their ability to traffic to tissue and perform complex therapeutic tasks in response to the tissue microenvironment make them an attractive candidate for drug development. Early experiences of Treg cell therapy in graft-versus-host disease, type 1 diabetes, and organ transplant have shown that it is feasible, safe, and potentially efficacious in some settings. Many ongoing trials in a wide variety of diseases will further enhance our knowledge about the optimal approaches for Treg manufacturing and dosing.
