Single-Cell Analysis of FOXP3 Deficiencies in Humans and Mice Unmasks Intrinsic and Extrinsic CD4+ T Cell Perturbations

CD4+ T cells in patients with IPEX syndrome and Foxp3-deficient mice were analyzed by single-cell cytometry and RNA-sequencing, revealing heterogeneous Treg-like cells, some very similar to normal Treg cells, others more distant.

Metabolic Modulation by CDK4/6 Inhibitor Promotes Chemokine-Mediated Recruitment of T Cells Into Mammary Tumors

Investigators showed that cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6i) could enhance efficacy of T cell-based therapies, such as adoptive T cell transfer or T cell-activating antibodies anti-OX40/anti-4-1BB, in murine breast cancer models.
