Autophagy repression by antigen and cytokines shapes mitochondrial, migration and effector machinery in CD8 T cells
Autophagy shapes CD8 T cell fate; yet the timing, triggers and targets of this process are poorly defined. Herein, we show that naive CD8 T cel…
Cell-associated galectin 9 interacts with cytotoxic T cells confers resistance to tumor killing in nasopharyngeal carcinoma through autophagy activation
Immune effector cells, including cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play essential roles in eliminating cancer cells. However, their functionality is o…
