Abatacept suppresses T cell activation, but how durable is its effect?
Research shows its inhibitory impact is short-lived in vivo, diminishing significantly once treatment stops 🧬

Vaccin universel respiratoire : ce que l'étude de Stanford démontre, et ce qu'elle ne démontre pas ❓ Qu'est-ce que le vaccin universel respiratoire de Stanford ? ❓ Que démontre l'étude chez la souris ? ❓ Que ne démontre pas l'étude ? #tcells #covid19 #influenza
Pathogenic CD4⁺ T cells in experimental uveitis share key features with those seen across immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, highlighting common pathways driving chronic inflammation 🧬
A high-affinity ImmTAC® bispecific efficiently redirects T cells to target PRAME+ tumour cells, even at very low antigen levels, highlighting its promise across multiple cancers 🧬
RNA capping emerges as a key checkpoint in T cell activation: RAM upregulation is essential for RNA cap formation, gene expression, and proliferation, linking transcriptional control to immune function. 🧬
A simple whole-blood assay enables rapid, in vivo monitoring of engineered TCR T cell function, capturing cytokine responses post-transfer without complex processing. A practical step for tracking cell therapy performance. 🧬
Voyager Technologies signed a contract with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space to manage Symphony Biosciences’ cancer research experiment aboard the ISS.

#TrendingNow | Within the #TumorMicroenvironment, cells engage in dynamic metabolic competition. This Essay discusses metabolic crosstalk between #cancer cells and #TCells, highlighting metabolic targeting as a promising strategy to reprogram anti-tumor immune responses 🧪 #ICYMI plos.io/3U6RWir
Cancer-fighting T cells can become exhausted before the job is done. Scientists have identified a way to help them conserve energy and keep fighting for longer, potentially improving several forms of immunotherapy.
🧬 PD-1 can suppress LAT condensate formation through unphosphorylated tyrosines. Reconstitution and T-cell experiments support a phosphorylation-independent route to inhibition and possibly new immunotherapy avenues.
