Cummings R. T cells are Smad’ly in love with galectin-9.. Immunity. 2014;41(2):171–3.
Abstract
In this issue of Immunity, Wu et al. (2014) report that galectin-9 is required for the formation and stability of iTreg cells. Galectin-9 interacts with CD44 in association with TGF-β receptors to drive both Foxp3 and galectin-9 expression in a positive-feedforward loop involving Smad3 activation.
