DOCK2 Sets the Threshold for Entry into the Virtual Memory CD8+ T Cell Compartment by Negatively Regulating Tonic TCR Triggering Open
The control of cytoskeletal dynamics by dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2), a hematopoietic cell–specific actin effector protein, has been implicated in TCR signaling and T cell migration. Biallelic mutations in Dock2 have been identified …

Not All T Cell Synapses Are Built the Same Way Open
T cells comprise functionally diverse subtypes. Although activated via a conserved scheme of antigen recognition by their T cell receptor, they elicit heterogeneous activation and effector responses. Such functional diversity has been appr…

Distinct actin cytoskeleton behaviour in primary and immortalised T-cells Open
Cytoskeletal actin dynamics are crucial for the activation of T-cells. Immortalised Jurkat T-cells have been the model system of choice to examine and correlate the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton and the immunological synapse leading t…

Enhanced CAR–T cell activity against solid tumors by vaccine boosting through the chimeric receptor Open
A boost for CAR–T cells Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)–T cell immunotherapy has been highly successful for treating certain blood cancers. Yet this approach has been a challenge for solid tumors, in part because it is difficult to target …
