Targeted calcium influx boosts cytotoxic T lymphocyte function in the tumour microenvironment

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) promote immune suppression in the tumour. Here, the authors show that Tregs suppress cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity by impairing Ca2+ signalling and that adoptive transfer of CTLs engineered with an optogenetic control of Ca2+overcome the immune suppression at the t...
