Zhang et al. show that hyperphosphorylated STAT1 in patients with STAT1 gain-of-function and STAT3 loss-of-function is caused by impaired SOCS3 expression and leads to upregulation of PD-L1 and defects in Th17 cell differentiation that underlie susceptibility to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis in these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
