CXCL1 regulates neutrophil homeostasis in pneumonia-derived sepsis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3
Neutrophil migration to the site of bacterial infection is a critical step in host defense.
Exclusively produced in the bone marrow, neutrophil release into the blood is tightly controlled. …

The neuropeptide NMU amplifies ILC2-driven allergic lung inflammation
Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) both contribute to mucosal homeostasis and initiate
pathologic inflammation in allergic asthma. However, the signals that direct ILC2s to promote …
