Regulatory T cells enhance tissue healing in mouse model

Investigators are constantly aiming to identify new therapeutic approaches for regenerative medicine. Recent strategies have focused on harnessing the power of the body's own tissue healing and repair mechanisms, including ...

T cell

T cells belong to a group of white blood cells known as lymphocytes, and play a central role in cell-mediated immunity. They can be distinguished from other lymphocyte types, such as B cells and natural killer cells by the presence of a special receptor on their cell surface called T cell receptors (TCR). The abbreviation T, in T cell, stands for thymus, since this is the principal organ responsible for the T cell's maturation. Several different subsets of T cells have been discovered, each with a distinct function.
