The paper identifies a CD57+ cytotoxic CD8 T cell subset expanded in SSc-ILD patients and links it to lung injury through CD155-CD226 interactions.

This study shows clonal overlap between Tph and Tfh cells in SLE patients and mice, suggesting shared developmental pathways and potential implications for immunosuppressive treatment.
