Growing evidence shows that gut-derived T cells migrate to extraintestinal organs, contributing to the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, three key questions require further elucidation. First, how do intestinal T cells egress from the intestine? Second, how do gut-derived T cells enter organs outside the gut? Third, what is the pathogenicity of gut-derived T cells and their correlation with the gut microenvironment? In this Opinion, we propose answers to these questions.

Here, we discuss evidence of non-neutralizing mAb-mediated protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. We explore how non-neutralizing mAb Fc-mediated functions can be enhanced via novel antibody-engineering techniques.
