Abstract
In this article for the Highlights of 2024 Series, we discuss research on Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s), which revealed their complex roles in mucosal immunity and inflammation. ILC3s can migrate from the gut to the kidneys, contributing to renal fibrosis. Their functions are metabolically regulated, with proteins such as nucleophosmin 1 and Tox2 influencing oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, respectively. ILC3s also express immune checkpoint molecules (e.g. cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 and programmed cell death1), which modulate inflammation. These findings highlight the tissue-specific roles of ILC3s and the need for targeted immunotherapies.
期刊介绍:
The Australasian Society for Immunology Incorporated (ASI) was created by the amalgamation in 1991 of the Australian Society for Immunology, formed in 1970, and the New Zealand Society for Immunology, formed in 1975. The aim of the Society is to encourage and support the discipline of immunology in the Australasian region. It is a broadly based Society, embracing clinical and experimental, cellular and molecular immunology in humans and animals. The Society provides a network for the exchange of information and for collaboration within Australia, New Zealand and overseas. ASI members have been prominent in advancing biological and medical research worldwide. We seek to encourage the study of immunology in Australia and New Zealand and are active in introducing young scientists to the discipline.
