Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Immunomodulation as a Novel Strategy for Prevention and Treatment of Bordetella spp. Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Well-adapted pathogens have evolved to survive the many challenges of a robust immune response. Defending against all host antimicrobials simultaneously would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, so many co-evolved organisms utilize ...

Phosphate Limitation Modulates Vibrio Cholerae Outer Membrane Vesicle Formation, Composition and Toxicity

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vibrio cholerae inhabits phosphorus‐poor aquatic environments and host intestine, where it expresses genes regulated by the PhoB/PhoR two‐component system in response to inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation. Like other Gram‐negative bacteria, V.
