T-cell receptors (TCRs) are crucial components of T cell immunity, enabling the detection and subsequent elimination of abnormal, cancerous and infected cells. Dysfunctional T cell receptor signaling can lead to various immune deficiency or autoimmune diseases. In cancer treatment the study and modification of T cell receptor signaling is important for CAR-T cell therapy as well as modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Modulating T cell activation can be important to avoid rejection of organ or stem cell transplants by the immune response.
