4‐1BB Expression and Signaling Regulates MAIT Cell Activation and Effector Functions

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
4‐1BB is a highly expressed TNFRSF co‐stimulatory receptor on MAIT cells upon activation. Expression and signaling via 4‐1BB enhance activation and provide co‐stimulation, boosting MAIT cell effector responses to TCR‐mediated activation. ABSTRACT Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant unconventional T cells that recognize microbe ...

MAIT cells: the end of the beginning? [PDF]

Immunology & Cell Biology, 2018
Mucosal associated invariant T cells (MAIT) are evolutionarily old, but scientifically still quite young. The first descriptions of a human T-cell population with the canonical T-cell receptors were 25 years ago (reviewed by Lantz and Legoux1). However, it is in the last few years, since the discovery of their specificity, functionality and sheer ...

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Immune checkpoint blockade improves the activation and function of circulating mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in patients with non-small cell lung cancer

OncoImmunology
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells constitute one of the most numerous unconventional T cell subsets, and are characterized by rapid release of Th1- and Th17-associated cytokines and increased cytotoxic functions following activation. MAIT cells

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Elucidating the Characteristics and Functionality of the Mouse Mucosal-Associated Mucosal Invariant T (MAIT) Cell Receptor

, 2023
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT) are a subset of invariant, innate-like T-cells that are abundant in the gut lamina propria, kidney, lungs, and peripheral blood.

Inflammation and mechanical force‐induced bone remodeling

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis arises from imbalanced host–microbe interactions, leading to dysbiosis and destructive inflammation. The host's innate and adaptive immune responses produce pro‐inflammatory mediators that stimulate destructive events, which cause loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment.

High pre-transplant Mucosal Associated Invariant T Cell (MAIT) count predicts favorable course of myeloid aplasia

Aims. Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional T cells with anti-infective potential. MAIT cells detect and fight against microbes on mucosal surfaces and in peripheral tissues.

Globo‐H diagnostic stratification and identification of DUSP14 as a candidate target in colorectal cancer

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 4, Page 936-950, 15 August 2026.
What's new? Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasingly complicated by drug‐resistant tumors that limit the effectiveness of anticancer therapies. Because resistance mechanisms vary among patients and can evolve over time, personalized treatment strategies are needed.

MAIT cells and tumor immunity [PDF]

Science, 2020
Cancer Immunology Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are immune cells that recognize host microbial metabolites presented by major histocompatibility complex class I–related protein 1 (MR1). During bacterial infection, activation of MAIT cells leads to the elimination of the infected cells.
