CD8<sup>+</sup> Tregs maintain distinct functions in the presence of CD4<sup>+</sup> Tregs. This review focuses on the Foxp3<sup>+</sup>CD8<sup>+</sup> Treg subset, which is typically extremely rare in unmanipulated mice and healthy humans under steady-state conditions. However, they can be induced and expanded for transplantation, autoimmune diseases, cancer, viral infections, and T cell receptor transgenic adoptive cell transfer models. Here, we summarize recent research progress related to this population, including the identification of phenotypic markers, induction determinants, and functional activities. Additionally, we discuss advances in manipulating Foxp3<sup>+</sup>CD8<sup>+</sup> Tregs in autoimmunity and transplantation.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"40113537","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":null,"authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"NIAID NIH HHS","grant_id":"R37 AI034495","title":null},{"funder_name":"NCI NIH HHS","grant_id":"P01 CA065493","title":null},{"funder_name":"NHLBI NIH HHS","grant_id":"R01 HL155114","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention","grant_id":"","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Division of Intramural Research","grant_id":"","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Division of Intramural Research","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":6,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[],"oa_status":"closed","license":"http://www.elsevier.com/open-access/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1471490625000535?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1471490625000535?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"}],"fields_of_study":[],"mesh_terms":["CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes","Animals","Humans","Autoimmunity","Cytotoxicity, Immunologic","T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory","Forkhead Transcription Factors"],"keywords":["Suppressive Function","Cytotoxic Function","Induction Determinants","Cd8 Regulatory T Cells"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-03T04:12:46.624658Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
