Such cells, known as type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3), are responsible for keeping the intestine operating in a normal, healthy manner. The researchers found that so-called clock genes are ...

Researchers have now identified the cells expressing Aire in 0.01 percent of lymph node cells to be ILC3-like cells using Aire-reporter mice and flow cytometry. The results may lead to elucidation ...

So to focus solely on the ILC3 portion of the immune response, the researchers gave the mice a short course of antibiotics, preventing the adaptive response from kicking in while still allowing ...

Neurotransmitter causes damage to the genetic material The Bonn researchers have now discovered that certain cells of the innate immune system, known as type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3), are ...

It appears that disruptions to this circuit, which senses changes in environmental light, can alter ILC3 clock genes. These genetic changes can impair the immune cells’ ability to regulate gut ...
