Study models lung tissue-resident T cell responses to viruses using human organoids
A research paper describes a human lung organoid system developed to study tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) and their antiviral responses in the respiratory tract. The work draws on prior findings about TRM cells' role in protecting against influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other pulmonary infections, aiming to recreate these dynamics outside the human body for closer study.
