What's in a name? Quite a lot: for cancer immunotherapy, it is vital that researchers & clinicians know when they are talking about the same cells (or not). CCII's Kenji Chamoto participated in this effort to standardise T cell nomenclature. #Immunology @natrevimmunol.nature.com

Purine salvage pathway protects CD8+ T cells from metabolic stress - Nature Immunology

Tajima et al. show that a transient or continuous high-fat diet induces metabolic changes in CD8+ T cells that lead to increased vulnerability to ferroptosis and reduced antitumor responses.
