Highlights

  • CD8 T cells mediate protective immune responses against infections and cancer

  • Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2)/Akt signaling to enhance the therapeutic potential of CD8 T cells

  • We show that Rictor, the core component of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2, regulates short-lived effector (SLEC) and memory precursor cells (MPEC) commitment
