Summary:

This article discusses the critical role of T cells in transplant rejection and the challenges in selectively targeting them due to their complex dynamics. It highlights advances in single-cell technologies and T-cell receptor sequencing, which have enhanced our ability to monitor alloimmune responses. The article emphasizes the need for new mechanistic and statistical modeling approaches to better understand T cell behavior and improve therapeutic strategies for transplant recipients. The research presented aims to provide insights into T cell dynamics, improve diagnostic markers, and optimize immunosuppressive therapies.

Spanish layman's summary:

Se explica cómo las células T juegan un papel crucial en el rechazo de trasplantes y la necesidad de nuevos métodos para entender y mejorar las terapias para los receptores de trasplantes.

English layman's summary:
