Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

The study shows that tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells in the small intestine are diverse with distinct responsibilities, and their position inside the gut's architecture dictates what they do.

Lampinen says, "It turned out that psoriasis sufferers had higher numbers of certain types of immune cells in their small intestine, and the cells showed signs of pro-inflammatory activity.

But the ways in which changes in the microbiome result in changes in the functioning of the intestinal cells are still unclear. The microbiome of the small intestine is distinct from the colon ...

To explore this, we will use human intestinal cell culture models that will be exposed to the small-intestine content obtained through the catheter, and see what effect these samples have on ...
