CD8+ T cells detect and kill virally infected or cancerous cells. When activated from their naïve state, T cells undergo a complex transition, including major metabolic reprogramming. Detailed resolution of metabolic dynamics of a wide range of metabolites is needed to advance the field of immuno...
Adoptive T cell receptor (TCR)–based immunotherapy offers a powerful strategy to target solid tumors. However, the physical properties of the antigen-presenting interface regulate T cell metabolic programming remains poorly defined. Here we develop synthetic viscoelastic activating cells (SynVAC)...
