Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues have determined that a specific type of immune cell—type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)—can change its characteristics and functions after a cancer patient receives stem cells from a donor, thereby preventing an effective, healthy rebuilding of the immune system. This new understanding of ILC2 cells’ transformational flexibility could lead to better strategies for enhancing immune system recovery post-transplantation.
