Summary from GEO: "Stem-like CD8 T cells maintain long-term antiviral CD8 immunity during chronic infection, and share regulatory pathways with memory precursor effector cells generated after acute infection. However, it is unclear whether stem-like CD8 T cells require distinct transcriptional and epigenetic regulation for their longevity and adaptation to the immunosuppressive environment in chronic...

Summary from GEO: "During a viral infection, CD8 T cells encounter a myriad of antigenic and inflammatory signals of variable strength, which sets off each individual T cell on a unique differentiation trajectory. However, the developmental path for each of these cells will ultimately lead to one of only two potential outcomes after clearance of the infection—death or survival and development into...
