Transcriptional downregulation of S1pr1 is required for the establishment of resident memory CD8+ T cells

TL;DR: It is found that regulation of KLF2 and S1P1 provides a switch that dictates whether CD8+ T cells commit to recirculating or tissue-resident memory populations.

CD28 Costimulation: From Mechanism to Therapy

TL;DR: The roles that CD28 and its family members play in human disease and the clinical efficacy of drugs that block CD28 ligands are reviewed and outline the complex receptor-ligand interactions among CD28 family members.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory T cells in autoimmune disease.

TL;DR: How the instability and plasticity of Treg cells can contribute to the breakdown of tolerance and lead to autoimmune disease is described.

The Treg/Th17 Axis: A Dynamic Balance Regulated by the Gut Microbiome

TL;DR: Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome may not solely represent a consequence of gut inflammation, but rather shape the Treg/Th17 commitment and influence susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease.

Control of Regulatory T Cell Development by the Transcription Factor Foxp3

TL;DR: Foxp3, which encodes a transcription factor that is genetically defective in an autoimmune and inflammatory syndrome in humans and mice, is specifically expressed in naturally arising CD4+ regulatory T cells and retroviral gene transfer of Foxp3 converts naïve T cells toward a regulatory T cell phenotype similar to that of naturally occurring CD4+.

Foxp3 programs the development and function of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells

TL;DR: It is reported that the forkhead transcription factor Foxp3 is specifically expressed in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and is required for their development and function and ectopic expression ofFoxp3 confers suppressor function on peripheral CD4-CD25− T cells.
