Abstract
γδT cells play a crucial role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Studies have shown that the number, subsets and secreted cytokines of γδT cells undergo changes in IBD. However, whether γδT cells are beneficial or detrimental in IBD remains controversial. Some studies suggest that γδT cells have a protective role in colitis, while others indicate that the expansion and activation of γδT cells may exacerbate colitis. Several studies have explored γδT cell-based therapies for immune disorders, and γδT cell-based therapy for IBD has emerged as a promising research direction. There are numerous reviews of γδT cells and autoimmune diseases, but few reviews focus on γδT and IBD. Therefore, this article briefly summarises the current understanding of γδT cells in IBD.
期刊介绍:
Immunology is one of the longest-established immunology journals and is recognised as one of the leading journals in its field. We have global representation in authors, editors and reviewers.
Immunology publishes papers describing original findings in all areas of cellular and molecular immunology. High-quality original articles describing mechanistic insights into fundamental aspects of the immune system are welcome. Topics of interest to the journal include: immune cell development, cancer immunology, systems immunology/omics and informatics, inflammation, immunometabolism, immunology of infection, microbiota and immunity, mucosal immunology, and neuroimmunology.
The journal also publishes commissioned review articles on subjects of topical interest to immunologists, and commissions in-depth review series: themed sets of review articles which take a 360° view of select topics at the heart of immunological research.
