How Lipid-Specific T Cells Become Effectors: The Differentiation of iNKT Subsets.

abstract：:The homeostasis of T cell populations depends on migration, division and death of individual cells (1). T cells migrate between spatial compartments (spleen, lymph nodes, lung, liver, etc.), where they may divide or differentiate, and eventually die (2). The kinetics of recirculation influences the speed at which loca...
