Nucleobase Adducts Bind MR1 and Stimulate MR1-Restricted T Cells

Nucleotide Base Adducts Bind MR1 and Stimulate MR1-Restricted T Cells Abstract This article provides an overview of the latest research by Vacchini et al. on MR1-restricted T cells (MR1T cells), which discovered the presence of nucleotide base adducts as MR1T cell antigens and unveiled their metabolic pathways and physiological functions in tumor c...

Human γδ T Cells in Diverse Tissues Exhibit Site-Specific Maturation Dynamics Across the Life Span

Research Background γδ T cells play an important role in the immune system, particularly in protective immunity, homeostasis, and tissue repair. Unlike conventional αβ T cells, which are restricted by major histocompatibility complex (MHC), γδ T cells directly seed peripheral tissues and respond to various microbial stimuli without relying on MHC-p...
