Deskripsi

T regulatory (Treg) cells can differentiate into effector Treg (eTreg) cells that might be functional in inflammatory diseases. Using RNA sequencing and epigenetic profiling, the authors show that eTreg signatures in juvenile idiopathic arthritis joints are similar to tumour microenvironment (TME) Treg cells and are affected by tissue-specific epigenetic regulation.
