Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study emphasizes the role of the Mapk13‐Tcf1‐Slc7a5‐methionine metabolism axis in stem‐like CD4+ T cells. Moreover, it uncovers the mechanism through which limiting one‐carbon metabolism in CD4+ stem‐like T cells suppresses the tide of chronic allograft vasculopathy, offering potential targets to promote long‐term graft survival.
