    IL-21R-STAT3 signalling initiates a differentiation program in uterine tissue-resident NK cells to support pregnancy

    Tissue-resident Natural Killer (trNK) cells are crucial components of local immunity that activate rapidly upon infection. However, under steady state conditions, their responses are tightly controlled to prev...

    PD-1 signaling facilitates activation of lymphoid tissue inducer cells by restraining fatty acid oxidation

    Anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) immunotherapy that aims to restore T cell activity in cancer patients frequently leads to immune-related adverse events such as colitis. However, the underlying mechanism is stil...
