💡 Welcome to #EULIFEspotlight! This month we celebrate Hongchang Fu, Postdoc Project Research Scientist in Samra Turajlić Group at @crick.ac.uk In this blog post, he shared his experience at EU-LIFE Connects Science 2026, hosted by Daniela Thommen at @nkinl.bsky.social eu-life.eu/newsroom/new...

"I have always believed that science advances not only through experiments and publications, but also through conversations among people, teams and institutes. These exchanges allow us to view our own research from another perspective, learn different ways of working, and build trust that sustains long-term collaboration," said Hongchang Fu.

Are exhausted T cells functionless? Absolutely not! We found that dysfunctional T cells are key initiators of early tissue responses to PD-1 blockade and equipped to rapidly regain anti-tumor function via restoration of translational control. See new preprint from the lab led by Paulien Kaptein

Reinvigoration of translational activity in dysfunctional T cells initiates the early intratumoral response to PD-1 blockade

T cells are key effectors of antitumor responses elicited by PD-1 blockade. However, it remains elusive by which mechanism(s) PD-1 blockade initiates T cell-driven antitumor immunity in cancer tissues...
