Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of innate-like non-conventional T cells characterized by multifunctionality. In addition to their well-recognized antimicrobial activity, increasing attention is being drawn towards their roles in tissue homeostasis and repair. However, the pre...
