Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are crucial immune cells involved in inflammation, infection, allergy, and cancer.
  • Previous research, primarily in mice, highlighted ILC importance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the heterogeneity of human ILCs.
  • To focus on the taxonomy, phenotypical, and functional diversity of human ILC subsets.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent findings on human ILC diversity.
  • Summary of ILC subset characteristics, including natural killer (NK), ILC1, intra-epithelial ILC1 (ieILC1), ILC2, ILC3, lymphoid tissues inducer (LTi), and ILC progenitor (ILCP).

Main Results:

  • Detailed discussion of the diversity within and between major human ILC subsets.
  • Information on the abundance of each ILC subset in human tissues.
  • Exploration of shared receptors and cytokine production across ILC groups.

Conclusions:

  • Human ILCs exhibit significant heterogeneity in phenotype and function.
  • Understanding this diversity is essential for comprehending their roles in health and disease.
