Building early defenses
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are considered as innate equivalents of T cells.Liu et al.used single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the proportions of ILCs in human fetal tissues,and additionally identified novel progenitor subsets undergoing ILC lineage specification in fetal liver.
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) possess similar functions to T cells but lack adaptive antigen receptors.They are enriched at barrier surfaces,and play critical roles in early defense against pathogens prior to expansion of T cells.They also function in maintenance of tissue homeostasis,promoting tissue repair and regulating tissue inflammation.1
