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 ...
This study, led by Dr. Panpan Jiang and collaborators at Tongji Medical College, explores the critical role of the Dedicator of Cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) gene in the differentiation of helper T cells, ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...
The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...
Researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have identified a novel type of immune cell, called the stem-like CD4 T cell, that plays a pivotal role in anti-tumor immunity. The ...
In a paradigm breaking study, Dr. Pavan Reddy, director of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and his team, in collaboration with Drs. Arul Chinnaiyan, S ...
