T reg cells get specific
Naturally occurring regulatory T (T reg) cells suppress T cell–driven autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. Although the origin and function of these cells has been widely studied, the specificity of their T cell receptors (TCRs)—whether for self or foreign antigens on target cells—remains a matter of debate. Prevailing opinion comes down on the side of self-antigen. But now Suffia and colleag...
متن کاملGillian Griffiths: How T cells get on target
C ytotoxic T cells patrol body tissues in search of cells that are infected with pathogens and immediately kill any they fi nd. For the T cell, the killing process involves dramatic rearrangements of its cytoskeleton and of secre-tory granules containing cytotoxic proteins. Gillian Griffi ths blends the fi elds of immu-nology and cell biology to investigate how T cells land their killing blow. ...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation: Microglia and T Cells Get Ready to Tango
In recent years, many paradigms concerning central nervous system (CNS) immunology have been challenged and shifted, including the discovery of CNS-draining lymphatic vessels, the origin and functional diversity of microglia, the impact of T cells on CNS immunological homeostasis and the role of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases. In parallel, antigen presentation outside the CNS h...
متن کاملBetter than platinum? Fuel cells energized by enzymes.
D ihydrogen (H2) gas has the potential to be a limitless source of clean energy if simple and efficient methods of production and utilization can be developed. In that regard, using H2 to store electrical energy by means of an electrochemical cell and returning that energy by means of a fuel cell would be among the cleanest and most efficient energy methodologies. This electrochemical apparatus...
متن کاملTumor cells get primitive
Tumor cells get primitive hen metastatic tumor cells migrate through connective tissue, they use proteases to chew a path for themselves. This finding led to the development of protease inhibitors as potential cancer therapies, but some animal and human clinical tests of these drugs have been disappointing. Wolf et al., reporting on page 267, may have found one reason why: when proteolysis is i...
