Researchers identify rare helper T cells linked to immune disorders using ReapTEC technology.

Researchers from RIKEN, Kyoto University, and IFOM ETS discovered rare helper T cells linked to immune disorders like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma. Their new technology, ReapTEC, identified genetic enhancers in rare T cell subtypes linked to specific immune disorders. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of immune-mediated diseases' genetic mechanisms and new drug therapies.
