MicroRNA-29a enhances and preserves stem-like CD8 T cell differentiation by regulating master epigenetic circuits of exhaustion.

Xuebing Leng, Lance Alec Buchness, Christine Isabelle Rafie…·Erietta Stelekati

This study shows miR-29a reprograms exhausted CD8 T cells into a stem-like state, enhancing their effector function and response to checkpoint inhibitors.
