Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

This discovery sheds light on how tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells adapt to their location in the body, ensuring a coordinated and effective immune response and how microenvironments and cellular ...

New types of T cells seem to pop up in the scientific literature with increasing frequency. Just this June, for instance, University of Melbourne immunologist Angela Pizzolla and her colleagues ...

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

Raynor et al, CRISPR screens unveil nutrient-dependent lysosomal and mitochondrial nodes impacting intestinal tissue-resident ...

引言在我们的身体中，免疫系统宛如一支无形的“卫士”，时刻守护着健康的堡垒。然而，这支强大的“军队”如何在复杂的组织环境中迅速适应、精准定位并有效发挥作用，仍是科学界的核心难题之一。近年来，研究人员逐渐发现，组织驻留记忆CD8 ...
