NIH-funded research project studying the interaction between membrane rafts and protein condensates in T cell activation to advance understanding of immune signaling and develop potential therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Description
This research project funded by NIH focuses on T cell signaling mechanisms involving membrane rafts and protein condensates. The project includes experimental work in vitro and in live cells, aiming to understand how LAT condensates couple to membrane rafts to regulate T cell signaling, with potential implications for autoimmune disease treatment and immunotherapy.
