Modulation of T cell metabolism and function through calcium signaling

Modulation of T cell metabolism and function through calcium signaling

As a vital second messenger in the activation of lymphocytes, the divalent cation Ca2+ plays numerous roles in adaptive immune responses. Importantly, Ca2+ signaling is essential for T cell activation, tolerance of self-antigens, and homeostasis. Supporting the essential role of Ca2+ signaling in T...
