Great to get McMurray et al out in Cell Reports, a page turner about transcriptional control of adaptive gd T cells. Thx to all co-authors and congrats to the talented @JackMcMurray. Strong similarities to ab T cells bring things back to ligand recognition as key gd USP.
Thanks to all who contributed to this study, @martindavey85 @DrAnoukvB @WillcoxCarrie @MariaSharif_ @helenmed @Jamie_Rossjohn and others, and congratulations to first author @JackMcMurray 🥳.
