A publication in Science Immunology, titled ‘FOXP3 exon 2 controls Treg stability and autoimmunity’, explores how Foxp3 gene might function. The paper can be accessed here. Background The regulatory T cells (Tregs) are an important immune cell that suppresses other immune cells. They are important for suppressing activation of immune cells against our own body. A gene called Foxp3 is critical for the function and … Continue reading Exon 2 of Foxp3 controls Treg seeding of peripheral tissue, and maybe their stability
