Background: Blocking glycolysis inhibits regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are often hijacked by tumor cells whose survival relies on glycolysis to inhibit antitumor immunity. However, how glycolysis influences Treg proliferation/differentiation remains unclear. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...
Background: The objective response rate of anti-programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains limited. The tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a key bottleneck. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compo...
Euglena gracilis, a green microalga known as a potential candidate for jet fuel producers and new functional food resources, is highly tolerant to antibiotics, heavy metals and other environmental stresses. Its cells contain many high-value products, including vitamins, amino acids, pigm...
