Role of Arg1 ILC2s and ILCregs in gestational diabetes progression.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a newly discovered subset of immune cells that are responsible for regulation of the immune microenvironment. In particular, the ILC categories ILC2s and regulatory ILCs (ILCregs) are associated with immunosuppression and chronic inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation leads to insulin resistance, a major etiological factor in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

The enrichment of Arg1ILC2s and ILCregs facilitates the progression of endometriosis: A preliminary study.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understood. This study examines several groups of ILCs in the peripheral blood (PB), peritoneal fluid (PF) and endometrium of patients with EMS via flow cytometry.
