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

Cancer co‐medication quality in older patients with polypharmacy: A large randomized trial testing a medication review versus usual care

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing medication reviews in geriatric oncology is sparse. Methods We conducted a single‐blinded RCT in ten rehabilitation clinics across Germany. Patients with common cancers, aged ≥ 65 years, and polypharmacy (regularly ≥ five drugs) were randomly allocated in equal proportions to
