Regulatory T cells restrain cytotoxic and bystander CD8 T cells without compromising antigen-driven memory in mucosal tissue

The paper investigates how regulatory T cells control cytotoxic and bystander CD8 T cell activity in mucosal tissues without affecting antigen-driven memory responses.

Genital herpes shedding episodes associate with alterations in the spatial organization and activation of mucosal immune cells

This study examines how HSV-2 shedding affects immune cell organization and gene expression in the vaginal mucosa, finding increased immune surveillance and potential tissue homeostasis mechanisms.

Bacterial vaginosis-driven changes in cervicovaginal immunity that expand the immunological hypothesis for increased HIV susceptibility

This study investigates how bacterial vaginosis alters cervicovaginal immunity, identifying immune cell changes that may contribute to increased HIV susceptibility.
