IL-21 boosts T cell-therapy efficacy for solid tumors by enhancing mitochondrial Ca2+-mediated motility of effector CD8+ T cells
Cancer Immunol Res. 2026 Sep 21. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-26-0401. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Cell motility, characterized by random walk and exploratory search movement, enables effector CD8+ T cells to search for sparse antigen-specific cancer targets within a tumor. This is of special relevance for treatment of solid cancers with adoptive T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapy, … Read more
