Distinguishing Helpful and Harmful Gut Immune Cells Offers New Perspective on Inflammatory Disorders
A type of immune cell that contributes to inflammatory bowel disease exists in two forms, ‘good’ and ‘bad’.
A new Crick-led study in Immunity has characterised these distinct populations, which could help scientists to develop treatments targeting inflammation while preserving healthy gut function.
These two populations are akin to worker and soldier ants, playing different roles depending…
