Profound alteration in an alpha beta T-cell antigen receptor repertoire due to polymorphism in the first complementarity-determining region of the beta chain.

abstract：:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in aging, inflammation, and cancer. Mitochondria are an important source of ROS; however, the spatiotemporal ROS events underlying oxidative cellular damage from dysfunctional mitochondria remain unresolved. To this end, we have developed and validated a chemoptogenet...
