Abstract excerpt
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are key molecular determinants of T-cell fate and effector function. Several inflammatory diseases are characterized by an altered balance of T-cell phenotypes and cytokine secretion. STATs, therefore, represent viable therapeutic targets in numerous pathologies. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the same STAT proteins regulate both the...
