Impaired Treg function and activation of the CXCL10/CXCR3 inflammatory pathway in Non‐Fluent Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia
Individuals with nfvPPA exhibit impaired immunosuppressive function of Tregs, accompanied by systemic activation of the CXCL10/CXCR3 pathway, which is involved in the homing of T cells into the brain. Our findings highlight the potential clinical impact of (i) restoring Treg suppressive function and (ii) targeting the CXCL10/CXCR3 axis to mitigate neurodegeneration by limiting neuroinflammation and the infiltration of cytotoxic T cells to the brain.
