The messenger between worlds: the regulation of innate and adaptive type‐2 immunity by innate lymphoid cells

Summary Although type‐2 immune responses evolved primarily to defend against extracellular helminths, in part through the co‐opting of tissue repair and remodeling mechanisms, they are often inappropriately directed towards relatively innocuous allergens resulting in conditions including asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and atopic dermatitis. The recent discovery of group 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC 2) has increased our understanding...
