How Proteases Train T-Cells

Protein cutting enzymes only found in the thymus preferentially generate peptides that lead to the positive selection and subsequent differentiation of T-cells.

How Inflammation Switches Off Tregs

DBC1, which has recently been shown to decrease the stability of immune suppressing transcription factor FOXP3, could be a therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases.
