Tumor-associated macrophages trigger MAIT cell dysfunction at the HCC invasive margin. [PDF]
SUMMARY Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells represent an abundant innate-like T cell subtype in the human liver. MAITs are assigned crucial roles in regulating immunity and inflammation, yet their role in liver cancer remains elusive.

Disruption of riboflavin biosynthesis in mycobacteria establishes riboflavin pathway intermediates as key precursors of MAIT cell agonists. [PDF]
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells exhibit an intrinsic ability to recognize and respond to microbial infections. The semi-invariant antigen recognition receptor of MAIT cells specifically detects the non-polymorphic antigen-presenting molecule,

Signals that control MAIT cell function in healthy and inflamed human tissues. [PDF]
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells have a semi‐invariant T‐cell receptor that allows recognition of antigen in the context of the MHC class I‐related (MR1) protein. Metabolic intermediates of the riboflavin synthesis pathway have been identified

MAIT cell homing in intestinal homeostasis and inflammation. [PDF]
Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a large population of unconventional T cells widely distributed in the human gastrointestinal tract. Their homing to the gut is central to maintaining mucosal homeostasis and immunity.

Single-cell analysis of human MAIT cell transcriptional, functional and clonal diversity. [PDF]
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells that recognize microbial metabolites through a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR). Major questions remain regarding the extent of human MAIT cell functional and clonal diversity.

Transcriptomes and metabolism define mouse and human MAIT cell populations. [PDF]
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that respond to microbial metabolites. We defined MAIT cell populations in different organs and characterized the developmental pathway of mouse and human MAIT cells in the thymus ...

MAIT cell inhibition promotes liver fibrosis regression via macrophage phenotype reprogramming. [PDF]
Recent data have shown that liver fibrosis can regress even at later stages of cirrhosis and shifting the immune response from pro-inflammatory towards a resolutive profile is considered as a promising option.

Targeting the MR1-MAIT cell axis improves vaccine efficacy and affords protection against viral pathogens. [PDF]
Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are MR1-restricted, innate-like T lymphocytes with tremendous antibacterial and immunomodulatory functions. MAIT cells also sense and respond to viral infections in an MR1-independent fashion.
