Knowledge of how Tregs work in transplantation comes from studies that do not recapitulate
how these cells will be used in humans. There is a need to develop better preclinical models
to study how the in-vivo function of human Tregs can be optimized to ensure they can meet
the challenge of inducing transplantation tolerance.
