How is the tissue context enabling TRM-driven immunity?
Spatial transcriptomics at single-molecule resolution allows in situ measurements of hundreds to thousands of genes in large areas of tissues, allowing an unprecedented view into the secret life of TRM. Combined with multiparametric immunohistochemistry technologies, these state-of-the-art approaches enable us…
How can we enhance tissue immunity?
As the mechanistic principles guiding tissue immunity unfold, the Reina Laboratory will focus on leveraging immune engineering technologies to enhance CD8 T cell functions in disease settings to unlock the next generation of immunotherapies. We will devise approaches to: A.…
What are the tissue-specific intrinsic adaptations of TRM?
Long-term tissue residency is a complex, context-dependent challenge requiring specific cellular adaptation strategies. Our recent work has identified common metabolic adaptations that empower CD8 T cell tissue residency and anti-tumor immunity (Reina-Campos et al, Nature 2023), opening exciting new research…
