[Type 2 innate lymphoid cells and chronic rhinosinusitis]
Abstract:
Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) is a new group of the innate lymphoid cells which has been recently discovered. These cells can produce type 2 cytokines such as interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) on response to interleukin-33 (IL-33), interleukin-25(IL-25) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) to initiate and maintain the type 2 inflammation in human. Nasal polyps from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) show enrichment for ILC2, which suggests ILC2 could have a critical role in the occurrence/development of nasal polyps. This review focuses on discovery of ILC2, immunological properties of ILC2 and ILC2 in CRS.

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...

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...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
