Great work from @taylahjbennett.bsky.social as part of her PhD studies. GILZ consistently emerges as a top hit in RNA‑seq analyses of T cell responses, including our own, we thought we'd take a look at what it does... Thanks to @jimmunol.bsky.social for highlighting.

Data demonstrate that glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) acts as a checkpoint for naïve CD8+ T cell by establishing a threshold for activation. Modulation of GILZ could be beneficial in improving CD8+ T cell responses to tumor antigens.
