Tissue-resident immune cells are a specialized subset of immune cells that reside permanently in tissues rather than circulating through the bloodstream. These cells are strategically positioned to provide immediate and localized immune responses, maintain tissue homeostasis, and support tissue repair and regeneration.
Key Characteristics
Permanent Residency: Unlike circulating immune cells, tissue-resident cells are long-lived in their respective tissues.
Rapid Response: They can quickly react to pathogens due to their strategic localization.
Adaptation to Tissue Environment: These cells adapt their phenotype and function to the specific needs of the tissue in which they reside.
