TLDR
New subsets are uncovered, including a subpopulation of Tex cells expressing natural killer cell-associated genes that is dependent on the transcription factor Zeb2, as well as multiple distinct TCF-1+ stem/progenitor-like subsets in acute and chronic infection.

Advancing beyond the twists and turns of T cell exhaustion in cancer

TL;DR: In this paper , the heterogeneity and dynamics of exhausted CD8 T cells are studied to guide novel therapies that modulate T cell differentiation to achieve more effective antitumor responses, which will help inform new therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fundamentals to therapeutics: Epigenetic modulation of CD8+ T Cell exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment

TL;DR: In this paper , the background of T cell differentiation and various exhaustion states and how epigenetics play an important role in these processes are discussed and the most recent methodologies that are used to study and discover such epigenetic modulations.

Lineage relationship and protective immunity of memory CD8 T cell subsets.

TL;DR: It is proposed that TCM and TEM do not necessarily represent distinct subsets, but are part of a continuum in a linear naive → effector → TEM → TCM differentiation pathway.

Selective expression of the interleukin 7 receptor identifies effector CD8 T cells that give rise to long-lived memory cells

TL;DR: Increased expression of the interleukin 7 receptor α-chain (IL-7Rα) identifies the effector CD8 T cells that will differentiate into memory cells, and this marker may be useful in predicting the number of memory T cells generated after infection or immunization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation directs memory precursor and short-lived effector CD8(+) T cell fates via the graded expression of T-bet transcription factor.

TL;DR: A mechanism by which the innate immune system sets the relative amounts of a lineage-determining transcription factor in activated CD8(+) T cells and regulates their memory cell potential is elucidated.

Defining CD8 + T cells that provide the proliferative burst after PD-1 therapy

TL;DR: A population of virus-specific CD8+ T cells that proliferate after blockade of the PD-1 inhibitory pathway in mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus is identified and its findings provide a better understanding of T-cell exhaustion and have implications in the optimization of PD- 1-directed immunotherapy in chronic infections and cancer.

The energetics of genome complexity

TL;DR: The endosymbiosis that gave rise to mitochondria restructured the distribution of DNA in relation to bioenergetic membranes, permitting a remarkable 200,000-fold expansion in the number of genes expressed.
