Innate lymphoid cells: new insights into function and development

Curr Opin Immunol. 2015 Feb:32:71-7. doi: 10.1016/j.coi.2015.01.004. Epub 2015 Jan 20.

Abstract

Here, we illustrate the complexity of ILC subsets and discuss novel functions, focusing on emerging mechanisms of crosstalk with other immune cells and the microbiota. Furthermore, we highlight recent insights into the development of ILCs, including the common pathways they share as well as points of divergence between ILC groups and subsets.
