...Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently described population of lymphocytes that play a critical role in innate immune responses and tissue remodeling. Multiple studies suggest that ILCs are particularly important for maintaining epithelial barriers and regulating immune responses at mucosal surfaces such as the lungs and intestines. Similar to T cells, ILCs consist of several subtypes that are characterized by the expression of different transcription factors and cytokines, and these correspond with the...
