Modern Aspects of Immunobiology
about Regulatory T cells & Immunoregulation NEWSLETTER
The idea for this module in MAI PLATFORM-Journal:
The revitalization of the suppressor cell concept, originally mounted by Richard Gershon, meets a still growing body of interest as evidenced by the increasing number of publications to this topic.
Findings demonstrating that T cells with suppressive properties are essentially involved in the induction of peripheral tolerance reveal the central importance of this concept for the understanding of the basic principals of immunoregulation.
Hence, we fell that the rapidly expanding knowledge about regulatory T cells deserves a platform provided by this new module for discussion and pronounced and provocative opinions of researchers working on the front line.
