Abstract

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) promote gastrointestinal health, dynamically interface with diet and microbes, and become impaired during chronic inflammation or metabolic syndrome. Torrico and colleagues uncover a key pathway rapidly disrupting ILC3 homeostasis in the intestines of humans and mice following the consumption of a high-fat diet.
