Transient mTOR inhibition rescues 4-1BB CAR-Tregs from tonic signal-induced dysfunction
Chimeric antigen receptor engineering in T cells has been shown to be of great potential therapeutic benefit in a range of immune pathologies, although the functionality of such cell therapies can be limited due to tonic signalling and the induction of ...

Prognostic impact of a lymphocyte activation-associated gene signature in GBM based on transcriptome analysis [PDF]
Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly, malignant tumor of the primary central nervous system. Patients diagnosed with this type of tumor have a poor prognosis.

Cardiosphere-derived cells suppress allogeneic lymphocytes by production of PGE2 acting via the EP4 receptor [PDF]
derived cells (CDCs) are a cardiac progenitor cell population, which have been shown to possess cardiac regenerative properties and can improve heart function in a variety of cardiac diseases. Studies in large animal models have predominantly focussed on

JC virus-DNA detection is associated with CD8 fffector accumulation in peripheral blood of patients with multiple sclerosis under natalizumab treatment, independently from JC virus serostatus [PDF]
Although natalizumab (anti-α4 integrin) represents an effective therapy for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), it is associated with an increased risk of developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), caused by the polyomavirus ...

Loss of RASGRP1 in humans impairs T‐cell expansion leading to Epstein‐Barr virus susceptibility
Inherited CTPS1, CD27, and CD70 deficiencies in humans have revealed key factors of T‐lymphocyte expansion, a critical prerequisite for an efficient immunity to Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection.

Signaling in Lymphocyte Activation [PDF]
The fate of T and B lymphocytes, the key cells that direct the adaptive immune response, is regulated by a diverse network of signal transduction pathways. The T- and B-cell antigen receptors are coupled to intracellular tyrosine kinases and adaptor molecules to control the metabolism of inositol phospholipids and calcium release.

T lymphocytes are central cells of adaptive immunity. Activation of T lymphocytes by the antigen receptor of T cells (TCR) and co-stimulatory molecules involve specific signaling components and cascades.
