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

The Mean and Variability of Morning Hour Activity Over 2–3 Days Predict 5‐Year Mortality and Frailty Risk in a National Sample of Older Adults

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Activity pattern features measured by continuous accelerometry are strongly associated with frailty, making accelerometry a promising, scalable screening tool for frailty. However, adherence to typical 5–7 day wear protocols decreases with age, reducing feasibility.
