Cell-Permeable Peptide Blocks TLR4 Signaling and Improves Islet Allograft Survival
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation in pancreatic β cells activates aberrant islet graft cellular pathways and contributes to immune rejection in allogeneic islet transplantation. As an approach to overcoming this problem, we determined the capacity of a 33-amino acid peptide consisting of a prot...
