Bystander T Cells Can Steal the Show From "Professional" Regulatory Cells in Resolving Inflammation
La Jolla Institute for ImmunologyA team led by LJI researchers reveals that bystander cell accumulation antagonizes rather than abets cell-killing by specific CTLs, curbing inflammation. This is noteworthy because that chief anti-inflammatory role has been traditionally ascribed to what are called regulatory T cells, or "Tregs", which dampen autoimmune responses. T
