Proteotoxic stress response drives T cell exhaustion and immune evasion - Nature

A proteotoxic stress response specific to exhausted T cells, governed by AKT signaling and accompanied by increased protein translation, represents a mechanistic vulnerability and a new therapeutic target to improve cancer immunotherapies.

“The results of an experiment on mice animal models showed that oral supplementation of 6-gingerol in a dose ranging from 50 to 75 mg/kg body weight over three weeks led to decreased blood glucose and oxidative stress levels, and better insulin sensitivity (Ali et al., 2018).”
