Innate-like T lymphocytes in chronic liver disease
In addition to its metabolic activities, it is now clear that the liver hosts a number of diverse immune cell types that control tissue homeostasis.

ER stress in antigen‐presenting cells promotes NKT cell activation through endogenous neutral lipids [PDF]
CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells constitute a common glycolipid-reactive innate-like T-cell subset with a broad impact on innate and adaptive immunity.

Shared and distinct transcriptional programs underlie the hybrid nature of iNKT cells [PDF]
Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are innate-like T lymphocytes that act as critical regulators of the immune response. To better characterize this population, we profiled gene expression in iNKT cells during ontogeny and in peripheral ...

The frequency of CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) T cells is highly associated with a variety of diseases. Recently, we used high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing to show that circulating DP T cells in cynomolgus monkeys comprise nine heterogeneous ...

Innate-like NKp30 + CD8 + T cells armed with TCR/CAR target tumor heterogeneity [PDF]
Intratumoral heterogeneity is frequently associated with tumor immune escape, with MHC-class I and antigen expression loss rendering tumor cells invisible to T cell killing, representing a major challenge for the design of successful adoptive transfer protocols for cancer immunotherapy.

Distinct blood and visceral adipose tissue regulatory T cell and innate lymphocyte profiles characterize obesity and colorectal cancer [PDF]
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a main site where metabolic and immunologic processes interplay to regulate, at local and systemic level, the inflammatory status and immune response.

The transcription factor BCL-6 controls early development of innate-like T cells. [PDF]
Innate T cells, including invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated innate T (MAIT) cells, are a heterogeneous T lymphocyte population with effector properties preprogrammed during their thymic differentiation. How this program is initiated is currently unclear.

Memory CD8 + T Cells: Innate-Like Sensors and Orchestrators of Protection [PDF]
Recent findings have revealed roles for systemic and mucosa-resident memory CD8(+) T cells in the orchestration of innate immune responses critical to host defense upon microbial infection. Here we integrate these findings into the current understanding of the molecular and cellular signals controlling memory CD8(+) T cell reactivation and the ...
