So good to see this finally out!
Delighted to share our latest paper out today - led by @ardeena-berisha.bsky.social - we show that we can boost the anti-cancer activity of human MAIT cells by getting them to use lactate & also directing them using bi-specific engagers as a proof of concept

🚨 New Publication Alert - out now in @science.org - We outline the environmental regulators of MAIT cells including the nutrients they need - with them coming into focus in cancer this is sure to be important - read it here doi.org/10.1126/scis...
Online now: Dietary sulfur amino acids enhance anti-tumor immunity in colon cancer via an NKT cell-XCL1-cDC1 circuit
Immunity
Abstract. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional T cells, which upon activation can display potent cytotoxic and cytokine-producing
Lobel, Fonseca-Pereira, et al. demonstrate that dietary sulfur amino acids (Saa) enhance anti-tumor immunity in colon cancer. A high-Saa diet expands the bacterium Mucispirillum schaedleri, which activates a natural killer T cell-dendritic cell axis to restrict tumor growth, illustrating how nutritional interventions can be leveraged for cancer immunotherapy.
