Objective Tissue‐resident memory T (TRM) cells have been implicated in organ‐specific immune pathology; however, the pathological relevance of TRM‐like CD8+ T cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear. We investigated their differentiation mechanisms and pathological significance in SLE, including associations with disease activity ...
