This study shows that loss of the transferrin receptor (CD71) in Treg cells leads to tissue-specific inflammation and autoimmunity, highlighting the role of CD71-iron metabolism in Treg stability and function.

This study shows that Mecr, a mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis gene, is critical for CD4+ T cell metabolism, function, and survival, with implications for inflammatory diseases and mitochondrial disorders.

This study shows that impaired oxidative phosphorylation, driven by NDUFA4L2, promotes EMT and metastasis in renal cell carcinoma by altering chromatin accessibility.
