Transiently reduced PI3K/Akt activity drives the development of regulatory function in antigen-stimulated Naïve T-cells.

Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are central for immune homeostasis and divided in thymus-derived natural Tregs and peripherally induced iTreg. However, while phenotype and function of iTregs are well known, a remarkable lack exists in knowledge about signaling mechanisms leading to their generation from...
