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...
Cancer immunotherapy utilizing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) has demonstrated significant promise in clinical applications, but cancer immunosuppressive mechanisms hamper further progress in T cell immunotherapy. Here we show a correlation between cancer cell mitochondria content and their resis...
Butyrate, one of the most abundant microbial-derived metabolites in the gut, is important in regulating intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we used untargeted global metabolomics to landscape the intestinal epithelial cellular metabolites changed by butyrate treatment.
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...
