6.4 Management of autoimmune diseases Autoimmune illnesses that include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis have long been thought to be T helper cells (Th cells) 1-dominant
Functional and phenotypic analyses confirm the induction of a pancreatic endocrine fate, including positive dithizone (DTZ) staining indicative of insulin production, as well as the upregulation of key pancreatic markers such as Nestin , PDX-1 , paired box gene 4 ( PAX4 ), neurogenin 3 ( NGN3 ), Isl-1, MAFA, insulin, and glucose transporter 2 ( GLUT2 )
