These cells contain receptors generated through random genetic rearrangements, a clever strategy to keep them ready to fight unfamiliar viruses and bacteria. However, this diverse pool leaves many questions about which ones are active in specific diseases.  Now, a study from researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) identifies a previously unknown type of immune … Continue reading Previously unknown immune cell identified, with implications for T1 diabetes.
