Therefore, the ability to efficiently generate human immune cell-types in vitro, and to engineer them with desired combinations of mutations, could be used to eventually understand and treat Type 1 Diabetes.

Advances by the Loh Laboratory have led to strategies for efficiently generating primitive streak, endoderm and foregut precursors from hPSCs.
