Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor is a T cell-negative costimulatory molecule

Role of GLP-1R in T Cells and Its Regulatory Mechanism for Anti-transplant Immunity and Anti-tumor Immunity Academic Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is known as a key regulator of glucose metabolism, primarily expressed in pancreatic β cells. Previous studies have clarified that GLP-1R agonists have significant effects in reduc...

Mapping Variant Effects on Anti-tumor Hallmarks of Primary Human T Cells with Base-Editing Screens

Mapping Variant Effects on Anti-tumor Hallmarks of Primary Human T Cells with Base-Editing Screens

Application of Base Editing Screening Technology in Tumor Immunotherapy T Cell Research Immune cell therapies, such as T cell transfer therapy and CAR T cell therapy, have become important clinical cancer treatment tools in certain disease fields. However, most cancer patients fail to benefit from cell therapies, possibly due to inherent changes in...

The Effect of B7H6 Ligand on T Cell Responses

Immunoglobulin Superfamily Ligand B7H6 Enables T Cell Responses under NK Cell Surveillance Background In the field of immunology, understanding the mechanisms regulating T cell immunity is crucial for developing effective therapies for diseases related to T cell dysfunction, such as autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, and cancer. T cells media...
