Does the PI3K pathway promote or antagonise regulatory T cell development and function?

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) prevent autoimmunity and inflammation by suppressing the activation of other T cells and antigen presenting cells. The role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling in Treg is controversial. Some studies suggest that inhibition of the PI3K pathway is essential for th...
