Transcription factors EOMES and T-BET regulate maturation of NK cells
In this blog, we will discuss how two transcription factors influence the maturation of natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are cells of the innate immune system and are part of the group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). NK cells are important for antiviral and antitumor responses. Before NK cells are fully functionally active, they…
The influence of lipid droplets on brain stem cells
In this blog, we will discuss how lipid droplets can influence the stem cells in the brain. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop in different types of cells. In the brain, neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) have the potential to develop into neurons and other brain cells. Lipid metabolism influences the activity of NSPCs….
