Abstract:
The immune system requires a complex network of specialized cell types to defend against a range of threats. The specific roles and destinies of these cell types are enforced by a constellation of gene regulatory programs, which are orchestrated through lineage-specifying transcription factors. T Cell Factor 1 (TCF1) is a central transcription factor in many of these programs, guiding the development and functionality of both adaptive and innate lymphoid cells. This review highlights recent insights into the function of TCF1 in a variety of lymphoid cell subsets and its potential for translational applications in immune disorders and cancer.
