特应性皮炎复发控制与组织驻留记忆性T细胞的相关性研究进展

Abstract

Abstract: 【Abstract】 Tissue-resident memory T cells （TRMs） play a crucial role in controlling atopic dermatitis （AD） relapses, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. An in-depth study of biological functions of TRMs can potentially lead to precise and individualized treatment and long-term effective control of AD. This review summarizes the biological characteristics of TRMs in skin tissues and their role in controlling the recurrence of AD.
