ILC2 Orchestration of Local Immune Function in Adipose Tissue

ILC2s were originally identified as IL-5 and IL-13 secreting "natural helper cells" present within the fat-associated lymphoid clusters of the mesenteries in both mouse and man. The presence of ILCs in adipose tissue has more recently expanded to include all ILC groups. Since their initial discovery, our knowledge of these cells and their role in adipose immune responses has expanded significantly. In this review we summarize the current...
