Abstract
The induction of CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (pTreg cells) in the intestine is important for preventing allergic and inflammatory disease, but which cells drive their differentiation is less clear. Three manuscripts in Nature, Cell, and Science conclude that one population of RORγt+ “dendritic cells” (DCs) is essential for both food- and microbe-specific pTreg cell responses in the intestine.
期刊介绍:
Immunity is a publication that focuses on publishing significant advancements in research related to immunology. We encourage the submission of studies that offer groundbreaking immunological discoveries, whether at the molecular, cellular, or whole organism level. Topics of interest encompass a wide range, such as cancer, infectious diseases, neuroimmunology, autoimmune diseases, allergies, mucosal immunity, metabolic diseases, and homeostasis.
