New insights into the function, development, and plasticity of type 2 innate lymphoid cells
7 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are the most well defined group of ILCs. ILC2 development is controlled by the GATA-3 transcription factor and these cells produce archetypal type 2 cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13.
