Abstract

Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) are a critical component of the immune system, providing the body with an immediate and highly specific response against pathogens re-infecting peripheral tissues. More recently, however, it has been demonstrated that TRM cells also form during autoimmunity. TRM mediated autoimmune diseases are particularly destructive, because unlike foreign antigens, the self-antigens are never cleared, continuously activating self-reactive TRM T cells. In this article, we will focus on how TRMs mediate disease in autoimmune skin conditions, specifically vitiligo, psoriasis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, alopecia areata and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In organs other than the heart, TRM cells have been incriminated as key drivers of autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, vitiligo, type 1 diabetes, idiopathic arthritis, Alzheimer disease, and multiple sclerosis.

    “Moreover, in other organs than the heart, T RM cells have been incriminated as key drivers of autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, vitiligo, type 1 diabetes, idiopathic arthritis, Alzheimer disease, and multiple sclerosis. 294,302-310”

    From Autoimmune Myocarditis, Old Dogs and New Tricks. (2024) · cites this paper as [303]

    The sections on vitiligo and psoriasis describe TRM involvement in those autoimmune skin diseases. The paper does not establish TRM as key drivers of type 1 diabetes, idiopathic arthritis, Alzheimer disease, or multiple sclerosis; its Introduction mentions TRM in the brain and pancreas without making those disease claims.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
