Funded Activity Summary

Differentiation and homeostasis of immune cell populations such as CD4 and CD8 T cells and dendritic cells has been key to understanding their function during inflammation. In contrast, late stage natural killer (NK) cell differentiation has largely been ignored. Given the key role of NK cells in providing innate effector immunity and shaping adaptive responses, a better understanding of the cues that regulate their differentiation is clearly warranted.
