@imtadvances.bsky.socialA 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. 🧬
@wealthwise-dca.bsky.socialVoyager Technologies signed a contract with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space to manage Symphony Biosciences’ cancer research experiment aboard the ISS.

@discovimmunol.bsky.socialSingle-cell insights reveal how “periodic” TCR signalling shapes self-reactive T cells, and how HTLV-1 exploits this pathway. A fresh model with implications for cancer and immunotherapy. 🧬

@plosbiology.org#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
@thecancersurvivorsclub.comCancer-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.
@dctomaz.bsky.social🧬 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.

@discovimmunol.bsky.social🧬 Open‑access research reveals that CASPASE‑8 supports αβ T‑cell survival through mechanisms independent of RIPK1‑mediated necroptosis, with key roles in CD8 T‑cell maintenance and NKT cell development.
@aegeanconf.bsky.social👏 A special thank you to the organizers of the 1st International Conference on T Cells in Health and Disease for a wonderful meeting! 🧬🇬🇷
Congratulations on a fantastic conference. We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2 years!
@aegeanconf.bsky.social🎓 Congratulations to our 19 Trainee Travel Award recipients at the 1st International Conference on T Cells in Health and Disease! 🧬
Proud to support the next generation of scientists! 👏

NW researchers developed a cryogel vaccine that generates local oxygen to prevent tumor hypoxia from shutting down T cells, dramatically extending survival in mice >> scitechupdates.com/e...
@bocascientificinc.bsky.socialImmunotherapy has been found to have limited success against pediatric #tumors, due to #Tcells becoming "exhausted". @stjuderesearch.bsky.social found #gene ZMYND8 is a major regulator of CD8+ T-cell exhaustion, and removing the gene improves antitumor response.
