Despite the significance of T cells in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative processes, the identification of T cell targets in these contexts remains challenging. In recent years, advancements in basic and clinical neuroimmunology have improved our comprehension of T cell pathophysiology in neurological disorders. However, research efforts often exist in isolation, lacking a unified platform for meaningful collaboration. To address this gap, “T Cells in the Brain 2027 (TCB2027): Decoding T Cell Targets in Neurodegenerative Diseases” aims to consolidate recent scientific progress and integrative approaches towards T cell-based therapy. TCB2027 will bring together experts in the field to share cutting-edge data and technologies and foster interdisciplinary discussions that can catalyze the development of therapeutic interventions targeting T cells in neurodegenerative diseases.
