We have developed mouse model of WRS by generating a hypomorphic mutation in the PERK (EIF2AK3) gene. By genetic crosses we are generating mice that are homozygous for the PERK hypomorphic mutation. During this semester human islet-like organoids will be transplanted into these mice to determine if they can rescue their severe diabetes.
