Interleukin 2 modulates thymic-derived regulatory T cell epigenetic landscape

Regulatory T (Treg) cells are developed in the thymus, and are essential for suppressing detrimental autoimmunity. Here the authors show, using mice with dampened interleukin 2 (IL-2) signaling, that IL-2 helps position the pioneer factor SATB1 to control genome-wide chromatin accessibility to facil...
