Some quotes:
approach focuses on teaching the immune system to tolerate, rather than attack, the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. By injecting the anti-CD3 antibody, which calms the immune system and lessens the attack on the beta cells, along with a piece of the nasal proinsulin peptide, which acts like a vaccine and induces a special cell type called "regulatory cells" that can actively and highly specifically protect beta cells
particularly attractive because – if successful in humans – it could replace current insulin-injection treatments altogether,

I get this image of bazillions of Nano-Robotic Shrink cells being injected and going up to the attackers:
