How does obesity disrupt ILC2 function and adipose tissue hoemostasis? In our latest study, we identify acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) as a critical metabolic regulator of adipose ILC2 maintenance and function.

Adipose ILC2s depend on acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 to maintain metabolic health
Karagiannis and Theodorou et al. show that excess lipids in obesity impair adipose ILC2s via acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1). Deletion of ACC1 disrupts the citrate shuttle and the NAD+/NADH balance, i...

Lipid metabolism and redox balance are linked in type 2 immunity! We found that allergen-induced #ILC2s and #Th2 cells require cysteine-driven glutathione synthesis to prevent #ferroptosis and support #lipid metabolism and expansion of type 2 immune cells in #asthma.

Tuft cell IL-17RB restrains IL-25 bioavailability and reveals context-dependent ILC2 hypoproliferation - Nature Immunology
Tuft cells constitutively express IL-25 to sustain ILC2 homeostasis in the intestine, but mechanisms driving IL-25 secretion have been unclear. Here, Feng et al. find that tuft cells express IL-17RB, ...

My inaugural post on Bluesky - quite fittingly, I'm thrilled to share our first study on heat acclimation, which identifies a neuronal mechanism that drives heat tolerance in mice. (www.nature.com/articles/s41... ) Here is the gist 🧵 (1/n):
