  2. Tissue-resident memory T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue-resident_memory_T_cell

    T RM cells have tissue residency-promoting transcriptional signature with features specific to individual tissues and features necessary for long-term survival in these tissues. [9] Skin T RM: T RM cells in the skin express cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) and CCR8 which are skin homing antigens. They have also higher expression of markers ...

  3. T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell

    T cells are one of the important types of white blood cells of the immune system and play a central role in the adaptive immune response. T cells can be distinguished from other lymphocytes by the presence of a T-cell receptor (TCR) on their cell surface. T cells are born from hematopoietic stem cells, [1] found in the bone marrow.

  4. Innate immune system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_immune_system

    Rather, NK cells destroy compromised host cells, such as tumor cells or virus-infected cells, recognizing such cells by a condition known as "missing self". This term describes cells with abnormally low levels of a cell-surface marker called MHC I ( major histocompatibility complex ) - a situation that can arise in viral infections of host ...

  5. Memory T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_T_cell

    Tissue-resident memory T cells (T RM) occupy tissues (skin, lung, gastrointestinal tract, etc.) without recirculating. Some cell surface markers that have been associated with T RM are CD69 and integrin αeβ7 (CD103). [20] However, it is worth noticing that T RM cells found in different tissues express different sets of cell surface markers. [20]

  6. Autoimmune regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_regulator

    This recognition is accomplished by the T cell receptors expressed on the cell surface. T cells receptors are generated by randomly shuffled gene segments which results in a highly diverse population of T cells—each with a unique antigen specificity. Subsequently, T cells with receptors that recognize the body's own proteins need to be ...

  7. Immune system contribution to regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system_contribution...

    Skeletal muscle regeneration in the site of injury accumulates T-reg cells as a response to IL-33. T-reg cells directly induce M1/M2 phenotype of macrophages so they change the outcome and manage the processes in time. Another important function od T-regs is their activation of muscle cells precursors and proliferation of these cells by growth ...

  8. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    The entire surface of the plant consists of a single layer of cells called epidermis or surface tissue. The entire surface of the plant has this outer layer of the epidermis. Hence it is also called surface tissue. Most of the epidermal cells are relatively flat. The outer and lateral walls of the cell are often thicker than the inner walls.

  9. Thymus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus

    Once mature, T cells emigrate from the thymus to provide vital functions in the immune system. [11] [12] Each T cell has a distinct T cell receptor, suited to a specific substance, called an antigen. [12] Most T cell receptors bind to the major histocompatibility complex on cells of the body.
