Abstract

Regulatory T cells (T reg cells) are key players in ensuring a peaceful coexistence with microorganisms and food antigens at intestinal borders. Startling new information has appeared in recent years on their diversity, the importance of the transcription factor FOXP3, how T cell receptors influence their fate and the unexpected and varied cellular partners that influence T reg cell homeostatic setpoints. We also revisit some tenets, maintained by the echo chambers of Reviews, that rest on uncertain foundations or are a subject of debate.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The gut microbiome regulates the activity of RORγ+ Treg cells, and dysregulation of these cells can lead to diseases such as colitis, food allergy, and colon cancer.

    “In addition, the gut microbiome regulates the activity of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma-positive (RORγ+) Treg cells, dysregulation of which can lead to diseases such as colitis, food allergy, and colon cancer.622,701–704”
  • Certain gut microbiota and their metabolites may stimulate or inhibit the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into TH17 cells.

    “Notably, certain gut microbiota and their metabolites may stimulate or inhibit the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into TH17 cells.”
  • The gut microbiome participates in extensive bidirectional communication with the immune system.

    “The gut microbiome participates in extensive bidirectional communication with the immune system.622,696”
  • Emerging evidence underscores the neuroimmune role of Treg cells and TH17 cells in the gut-brain axis, extending to neuropathological conditions such as AD.

    “Emerging evidence has underscored the neuroimmune role of Treg cells and TH17 cells in the gut–brain axis, extending to neuropathological conditions such as AD, suggesting potential areas for future research.621,622”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
