Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

open access: yesImmunology, 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

The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in Autoimmune, Allergic and Infectious Diseases: A Systematic Review

open access: yesImmunology, EarlyView.
This systematic review establishes disease‐specific dysregulations of human innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), demonstrating that an ILC1/ILC3 imbalance compromises mucosal barriers in inflammatory bowel disease, while activated ILC2s drive allergic airway inflammation.
