The thioredoxin-1 system is essential for fueling DNA synthesis during T-cell metabolic reprogramming and proliferation

Thioredoxin (Trx), Trx reductase, Txnip and NADPH together comprise the Trx system. Here the authors make a T cell-specific thioredoxin reductase-1 knockout mouse to show how this system reprograms cellular metabolism to enable T cell development, proliferation and responses.
