(Multi-) omics studies of ILC2s in inflammation and metabolic diseases

Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) have emerged as pivotal regulators in the pathogenesis of diseases, with their roles in inflammation, metabolism, and tissue homeostasis becoming increasingly recognized. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of ILC2s in inflammation and metabolic disorders, including their functional contributions. Moreover, we will discuss how these cells adapt their metabolic processes to support their function and survival and how their metabolic requirements change under different physiological and pathological conditions. Lastly, we will review recent omics studies that have provided insights into the molecular and cellular characteristics of ILC2s. This includes transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses that have elucidated the gene expression profiles, protein interactions, and metabolic networks, respectively, associated with ILC2s. These studies have advanced our understanding of the functional diversity of ILC2s and their involvement in metabolic disease.
