title: SnapShot: resident memory T cells.
abstract: Resident memory T cells (TRM) comprise a subset of nonrecirculating memory T cells that remain positioned at common portals of reinfection. These include barrier tissues such as the mucosae and skin. TRM orchestrate the initial response to pathogens re-encountered at these locales, thereby accelerating protective immune responses.
