The article discusses three reports within the issue on immunology research, including one by N. Iijima and A. Iwasaki, one by J. M. Schenkel et al., and one by S. Ariotti et al., investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the persistence and protective function of tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM). Topics include CD4 TRM cell retention, TRM cell activation, and infection control involving the cytokine interferon-γ (IFN-γ).
