Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induces cell cycle arrest and parenchymal damage in renal fibrosis

TL;DR: In mouse models of experimentally induced renal fibrosis, conditional deletion of Twist1 or Snai1 in proximal TECs resulted in inhibition of the EMT program and the maintenance of TEC integrity, while also restoring cell proliferation, dedifferentiation-associated repair and regeneration of the kidney parenchyma and attenuating interstitial fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

B7-1 and B7-2 Selectively Recruit CTLA-4 and CD28 to the Immunological Synapse

TL;DR: It is shown that ligand binding is important for the accumulation of both CD28 and CTLA-4 at the synapse, and that B7-1 is the major ligand mediating CT LA-4 localization, while B 7-2 is the main ligand for CD28 concentration at thesynapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative regulators of T-cell activation: potential targets for therapeutic intervention in cancer, autoimmune disease, and persistent infections.

TL;DR: The application of findings from basic research has provided insight into the manipulation of these pathways in the clinic and offers promising strategies for the treatment of disease.
