OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Thymic development of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells
T cells play an important role in the immune system by detecting microbial molecules that signal infection. While most studies have focussed on T cells that detect foreign peptides, recent studies have shown that a major T cell population called MAIT cells recognise microbial vitamin B2 derivatives presented by the molecule, MR1. Using MR1 tetramers, we describe how MAIT cells develop in the thymus and identify key checkpoints that control the maturation of these cells.
