Researchers Publish New T Cell Nomenclature Guidelines
Talking about T cells has become increasingly difficult even among T cell researchers as more discoveries have led to a growing number of subtypes.
To overcome this communication complication, a consortium of researchers proposed new guidelines for T cell nomenclature.
Read more.
Researchers released a consensus statement with recommendations to update T cell nomenclature and improve communication around T cell subtypes.
Self-induced superradiant masing
Superradiance is usually driven by light-mediated couplings, leaving the role of direct emitter interactions unclear. Now, it is shown that dipole–dipole interactions in diamond spins drive self-induced pulsed and continuous superradiant masing.

Tokamak experiments exceed plasma density limit, offering new approach to fusion ignition
Researchers working on China’s fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized “density-free regime” for fusion plasmas, achieving stable operation at densities well beyond conventional limits.
The results, reported in Science Advances, provide new insights into overcoming one of the most persistent physical obstacles on the path toward nuclear fusion ignition.
The study was co-led by Prof. Zhu Ping from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Associate Prof. Yan Ning from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. By realizing a novel high-density operating scheme on EAST, the team demonstrated that plasma density, long constrained by empirical limits in tokamak operation, can be substantially extended without triggering disruptive instabilities.
Regulatory T cell stability determines the efficiency of bile duct regeneration during cholangitis
Kimura and Wong et al. have demonstrated how Tregs influence bile duct response to liver injury. Combinational immunotherapy that increases Treg number and stability is required for a more efficient bile duct repair program.
Mesenchymal thymic niche cells enable regeneration of the adult thymus and T cell immunity
T cell immunity declines with thymic atrophy, but thymic cell grafts rescue T cell function.
