Abstract
- This document is a first-person interview with Fabrizia Zevolini, the first author of a paper titled "Polo-like kinase 1 regulates immune synapse assembly and cytotoxic T cell function by driving microtubule dynamics." The paper discusses the role of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) in the assembly of the immune synapse, a cell-cell contact that cytotoxic T cells establish with their targets for effective killing. The study found that inhibiting PLK1 suppressed cytotoxic T cell function, highlighting a potential drawback of PLK1-targeted therapies. The author also discusses the challenges faced during the project and their motivation to pursue a career in science. The paper was published in the Journal of Cell Science, a prestigious journal that reaches a broad scientific community. [Extracted from the article]
