Dr. Artis and Team Publish Breakthrough Findings on ILC2s in Immunity


Dr. David Artis

Dr. David Artis, Director of the Jill Roberts Institute for Research in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and team have published a paper in Immunity that reveals a critical new finding regarding the Tph1 gene and ILC2 (allergy linked immune cells). The study found that ramped-up production of Tph1 helps ILC2s to enter an inflammatory state. This advance may lead to future drugs that could suppress Tph1 in an attempt to alleviate allergic and inflammatory conditions.
