Thymic iNKT single cell analyses unmask the common developmental program of mouse innate T cells

Innate-like T cells such as invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells both develop in the thymus. Here the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to show that mouse iNKT and MAIT share components of developmental regulation, with a transcription factor, Hivep3...

description Innate-like T cells such as invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells both develop in the thymus. Here the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to show that mouse iNKT and MAIT share components of developmental regulation, with a transcription factor, Hivep3, implicated for the maturation of both cell types.
