New ICG article published in Science Translational Medicine on host-derived mannose glycans as triggers of γδ T cell/IL-17a axis in autoimmunity

Life-threatening autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lead to increasing disability over time, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Now, a new study led by our group has shed light on the role of protein glycosylation in triggering autoreactive…
