Bispecific T cell engaging antibodies (bsAbs) have emerged as novel and powerful therapeutic agents for redirecting T cells towards antigen-specific tumor killing.

Monocytes regulate the mechanism of T-cell death by inducing Fas-mediated apoptosis during bacterial infection. [PDF]
Monocytes and T-cells are critical to the host response to acute bacterial infection but monocytes are primarily viewed as amplifying the inflammatory signal.

Metabolic regulation of regulatory T cell development and function [PDF]
It is now well established that the effector T cell (Teff) response is regulated by a series of metabolic switches. Quiescent T cells predominantly require ATP-generating processes, whereas proliferating Teff require high metabolic flux through growth ...

Downregulation of HMGB1 in thymoma cells affects T cell differentiation
Introduction: Thymoma is the most common anterior mediastinal tumor and is closely associated with myasthenia gravis (MG). Our previous study showed that the expression of Th17 cells increased and the expression of Treg decreased in MG-associated thymoma

Human naive CD8 T cells down-regulate expression of the WNT pathway transcription factors lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 and transcription factor 7 (T cell factor-1) following antigen encounter in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
The transcription factors lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1) and transcription factor 7 (TCF7) (T cell factor-1 (TCF-1)) are downstream effectors of the WNT signaling pathway, which is a critical regulator of T cell development in the thymus.

Controversies concerning thymus-derived regulatory T cells: fundamental issues and a new perspective [PDF]
Thymus-derived regulatory T cells (Tregs) are considered to be a distinct T-cell lineage that is genetically programmed and specialised for immunosuppression.

EpCAM promotes endosomal modulation of the cortical RhoA zone for epithelial organization
The organization and force-generating property of actomyosin dictate the plasticity and behaviour of cells but the spatio-temporal regulation of this network is unclear.

Controlling the Immune Suppressor: Transcription Factors and MicroRNAs Regulating CD73/NT5E
The NT5E (CD73) molecule represents an ecto-5′-nucleotidase expressed on the cell surface of various cell types. Hydrolyzing extracellular adenosine monophosphate into adenosine and inorganic phosphate, NT5E performs numerous homeostatic functions in ...

MicroRNAs affecting the susceptibility of melanoma cells to CD8+ T cell‐mediated cytolysis
Background The regulatory functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in anti‐tumour immunity have been mainly described in immune effector cells. Since little is known about miRNA effects on the susceptibility of target cells during T cell—target cell interaction ...

Cell-in-cell: A virgin land of cell biology [PDF]
Cell-in-cell affects multiple functions of both internalized and internalizing cells. Immune effector cells and their targets can also interact in this fashion. We have recently investigated the outcome of cell-in-cell, the molecular mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon, and its relevance in both physiological and pathological conditions.
