Infectious diseases pose a significant public health burden, accounting for nearly one-fifth of deaths globallyper annum. Most infections are initiated from a restricted mucosal tissue, such as the intestine. To fightintestinal infections, gut-resident immune cells are superior to circulating ones. There is a surge of recentinterest in tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells that have been shown to be a critical adaptive immunecomponent of mucosal immunity. These cells have been flagged as an ideal cell population to be generated inT cell-based vaccines.

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (SVD) is an important, potentially modifiable factor for clinical dementia. Recent data suggest that the age-specific incidence of dementia may be decreasing, partly as a result of bettermanagement of vascular risk factors, lending urgency to dementia prevention trials but a major impediment isthe absence of circulating biomarkers for tracking onset and progression of SVD.
