Abstract excerpt
Tissue-resident memory (TRM) T cells are a unique subset of memory T cells that are critical for the first line of defense against pathogens or antigens in peripheral non-lymphoid tissues such as liver, gut, and skin. Generally, TRM cells are well adapted to the local environment in a tissue-specific manner and typically do not circulate but persist in tissues, distinguishing them from other memory T cell...
