The effective elimination of pathogenic lymphocytes and their subsequent repopulation with naive cells has been termed ‘immune reset’. In this Perspective, we trace the origins of the immune reset concept and its clinical, cellular and molecular definitions, and we review current attempts to identify biomarkers for long-term clinical remission in autoimmune diseases. Emerging data from clinical trials support the concept that higher probabilities of long-term remission can be achieved with therapies that can more deeply and broadly deplete B cells than the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. A better understanding of the cellular and molecular basis for immune reset and the biomarkers associated with this state should accelerate progress towards the goal of restoring a non-autoimmune state and sustaining remission, while reducing the need for chronic immunosuppression.</p>","PeriodicalId":19049,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Immunology","volume":"194 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":100.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent data from models of viral infection show that the precursors of terminally exhausted T cells emerge early during disease course, prior to continuous signalling through the T cell receptor. I speculate that these findings might indicate that, at least in some settings, T cell exhaustion may emerge as a late consequence — rather than an early determinant — of cancer progression. Recent studies in mouse models of viral infection showed that precursors of terminally exhausted T cells emerge early during the course of disease. Here, Galluzzi discusses these findings and what they may mean for our understanding of tumour immunology and responses to immunotherapy with immune checkpoint blockade.","PeriodicalId":19049,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Immunology","volume":"25 4","pages":"227-228"},"PeriodicalIF":67.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
