Conserved developmental rewiring of the TCR signalosome drives tolerance in innate-like lymphocytes Natural intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IELs) are innate-like, intestine-resident T cells essential for gut homeostasis. These cells express self-reactive T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) due to thymi...

Finally, after moving halfway across the world to beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand, our (Italian) espresso machine has arrived. Even better that we can get tasty beans from Acme who also make a special @malaghan.bsky.social blend that supports our research ❀️ lnkd.in/gbWi6RuW
