Researchers say they’ve discovered a key factor in the body’s production of T cells, white blood cells that are important to immune function. Some studies show people with chronic fatigue syndrome have reduced T cell response to certain infectious agents.
The new research, which is about to be published in the prestigious journal Science, suggests that manipulating a newly discovered genetic regulator, called Ctip2, can influence some types of immune function.
