Abstract excerpt
The generation of CD4⁺Foxp3⁺ Treg cells in the thymus is crucial for immune homeostasis and self-tolerance. Recent studies have shown Treg-cell plasticity when Th-related transcriptional factors and cytokines are present. However, the mechanisms that maintain the stability of Treg cells are poorl...
