Both Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells) and local immune responses within non-lymphoid tissues have long been recognized as important elements of a well-orchestrated immune system, but only recently have these two fields of study begun to intersect. There is growing evidence that Treg cells are present in various non-lymphoid tissues in health and disease, that they have a unique phenotype, and that their functions go beyond the classical modulation of immune responses. Thus, tissular Treg cells might add yet another level to classification of the Treg cell compartment into functional and/or phenotypic subtypes. This review summarizes recent findings in this new field, discussing knowns and unknowns about the origin, phenotype, function and memory of non-lymphoid tissue-resident Treg cells.
