Abstract
Regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing the X-chromosome-encoded transcription factor Foxp3 represent a specialized immunosuppressive lineage with a well-recognized, essential function in preventing fatal autoimmunity and inflammation. Recent studies revealed that Treg cells can also exert systemic effects on metabolism and partake in tissue repair, suggesting a dual role for these cells in serving and protecting tissues. Here, we review multiple means by which Treg cells support tissue function and organismal homeostasis.Entities:
