Researchers at the University of Houston, led by Navin Varadarajan, have discovered a new subset of T cells, termed CD8-fit, which are associated with improved outcomes in T-cell therapies for cancer. Using a combination of the TIMING method and single-cell RNA sequencing, the team identified a molecular signature in these T cells that correlates...
