Targeting ZMYND8 unleashes IL-2 signalling to override T cell exhaustion.
CD8+ T cell exhaustion impedes control of chronic viral infection and cancer. This hypofunctional state is characterized by downregulation of the high-affinity IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) and STAT5 signalling, and differentiation from progenitor exhausted to terminally exhausted T cells rather than cytotoxic effector-like ce...
