<h1> Modeling</h1>
+
 
+
<p>Mathematical models and computer simulations provide a great way to describe the function and operation of BioBrick Parts and Devices. Synthetic Biology is an engineering discipline, and part of engineering is simulation and modeling to determine the behavior of your design before you build it. Designing and simulating can be iterated many times in a computer before moving to the lab. This award is for teams who build a model of their system and use it to inform system design or simulate expected behavior in conjunction with experiments in the wetlab.</p>

To complete for the gold medal criterion #3, please describe your work on this page and fill out the description on your <a href="https://2017.igem.org/Judging/Judging_Form">judging form</a>. To achieve this medal criterion, you must convince the judges that your team has gained insight into your project from modeling. You may not convince the judges if your model does not have an effect on your project design or implementation.

DOUBLE CAR-Treg   VS   Rheumatoid   Arthritis

Description

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a serious chronic, inflammatory and systemic autoimmune disease. It occurs virtually in all races of the world. RA presents great pain and financial burden for patients, but for the time being, there is no radical cure for RA. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a kind of novel targeted cell therapy for RA. To solve the problems existing in the current treatment of RA, we design and built a totally new immunotherapy. FOXP3+ regulatory T cells, which can suppress and regulate immune reaction, are engineered by inserting a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) using lentiviral vectors to recognize inflammatory cells associated with rheumatoid arthritis. At the same time, we insert another receptor to activate the functional stability pathway of regulatory T cells in the inflammatory environment, and thus make it possible for them to play their role of immunosuppression more efficiently and more stably in lesions, so that this therapy can reach a good anti-RA effect. These two redirections of the two different system on the native regulatory T cell response ensure the efficacy and efficiency of our novel immunotherapy for RA.
