T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...
Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...
Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...
In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers developed "scAtlasVAE," a deep-learning model to integrate large-scale single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, ...
As the trained killers of the immune system, cytotoxic T cells silently save our lives every day—vanquishing viruses before they can run amok, and putting nascent cancer cells out of business before ...
Clonally expanded CD8+ T cells are key drivers of alopecia areata, mediating epithelial cell death and immune infiltration. JAK inhibitors are approved for AA treatment, but recurrence is common, ...
Capstan Therapeutics scientists demonstrate that lipid nanoparticles can engineer CAR T cells within the body without laboratory cell manufacturing and ex vivo expansion. The method using targeted ...
A recent Science study explored how intranuclear metabolic enzymes establish the link between locus-specific epigenetic reprogramming of T cells and nutrient availability. Persistent antigen ...
A team of researchers, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), explored the cellular and molecular interactions revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role ...
