Innate lymphoid cells: from border protection to the initiation of inflammatory diseases
29 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are a recently discovered group of innate lymphocytes found at mucosal surfaces. The transcriptional and effector programs of ILC strikingly resemble those of the various T-helper (Th) cell fates (that is, Th1, Th2, Th9, Th17, Th22).
