Are all skin TRM cells created equal? Beyond excited to share our new paper in @ScienceMagazine, where we show diverse CD8+ TRM use distinct molecular pathways to develop and persist in skin, which we can target to fine-tune the skin-immune landscape🧵👇🏻 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

In vitro models of CD8 T cell exhaustion make high-throughput interrogation easy, but can they be used to discover real Tex biology with therapeutic relevance? Read to find out! In our new work from the @EJohnWherry lab, out now at @SciImmunology, we... bit.ly/45yOFMB

We are happy to share our latest publication from Mary Margaret Addison, PhD! Here, she highlights the ability of activated CD4+ T cells to act as antigen-presenting cells and present endogenous antigen derived from infectious HIV-1! jimmunol.org/content/early/2…

Congrats Maxi!!! @maxevrard Elegant, mechanistic study, and well deserved accolades!
Excited to see our new study out in @JExpMed ! Find out how S1PR5 regulates T cell migration and their differentiation into resident-memory T cells here 👇 bit.ly/3nluiOh Thank you @LMackayLab, our amazing #teamTRM @TheDohertyInst and all co-authors!
