Dual-function Stem-like T Cells in Tumor Immunity
Cancer Research Institute (CRI) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Exciting findings from CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR Dr. Haydn Kissick of Emory University reveal a unique, stem-like T cell population with a surprising dual role, that can either suppress, or activate tumor-fighting T cells. In tumor-draining lymph nodes, these PD1+TCF1+ CD4 T cells switch character based on their surroundings.
They remaining stem-like in the presence of regulatory T cells (T regs) to limit tumor immune responses, or transform into T helper 1 (TH1) cells to activate tumor fighting CD8+ T cells for stronger tumor control when T regs are absent. This discovery opens new doors to understanding how to harness these T cells in order to improve cancer therapies. Explore.”
