Objective:
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are newly identified innate lymphocytes in humans and mice that are important and effective cells of innate immunity and regulate adaptive immunity. ILCs have been found to promote the start, regulation and resolution of inflammation. ILCs play an important role in the progress of infection, inflammation and tissue repair in the mouse model, and clinic researches also indicate the importance of ILCs in human health and disease. Based on the previous related researches, the types of ILCs and the role of these populations in promoting acute and chronic inflammation as well as resolution inflammation and tissue repair were mainly reviewed to provide new insights for the further study.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Introduction to Lymphatic and Immune System
The immune responses can be categorized into two types: innate and adaptive. Innate immunity comprises nonspecific defenses we are born...
Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...
Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...

Phagocytes
Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...
