Editorial: Secretion of Cytokines and Chemokines by Innate Immune Cells

Cytokines and chemokines are released from a wide range of immune cells, and are essential for the communication of signals in both innate and adaptive immunity. While there is a substantial body of literature regarding the function of cytokines and chemokines in immunity, remarkably little has been done to determine how these are packaged and secreted from a range of immune cells. Our knowledg...

Editorial: New tricks for innate lymphoid cells.

ILCs are an emerging family of innate immune cells that exhibit phenotypic and functional heterogeneity that is remarkably similar to effector subsets of CD4 Th cells [1, 2]. As such, ILCs can be placed into three groups based on expression of cytokines, cytokine receptors, and transcription factors, including T-bet Group 1 ILCs that are comparable with Th1 cells, GATA3 Group 2 ILCs that are co...

The importance of autophagy as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and responsiveness to stress and infection is being increasingly appreciated as reflected in the recent award of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to the Japanese researcher Yoshinori Ohsumi (https://www.nobelprize.org/ nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2016/ohsumi-facts.html). In the review by Kabat et al. titled “The...
