An unexpected origin for calming immune cells in the gut
Within the gut, the immune system must strike a perfect balance between protecting our bodies from infection and not overreacting to harmless foreign entities, including food. A new study explores the origins of a type of immune cell that appears to keep inflammatory responses in check. More » (Source: The Rockefeller University Newswire)
