Understanding liver transplantation outcomes through the lens of its tissue-resident immunobiome by Prosser, AC, Klenerman, P, Lucas, M

“…TRLs are especially enriched in the liver, with every TRL subset represented, including liver-resident natural killer cells; tissue-resident memory B cells; conventional tissue-resident memory CD8, CD4, and regulatory T cells; and unconventional gamma-delta, natural killer, and mucosal-associated invariant T cells. …”

Activated invariant NKT cells regulate osteoclast development and function by Hu, M, Bassett, JHD, Danks, L, Howell, PGT, Xu, K, Spanoudakis, E, Kotsianidis, I, Boyde, A, Williams, GR, Horwood, N, Roberts, I, Karadimitris, A

“…Because these same progenitors give rise to osteoclasts (OCs), which also mediate the egress of hematopoietic progenitors and orchestrate bone remodeling, we hypothesized that iNKT cells would extend their myeloid cell regulatory role to the development and function of OCs. …”
