- The study analyzed changes in code status for patients experiencing cardiopulmonary arrest in a hospital setting over a ten-year period.

Here we show that type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), important mediators of barrier immunity, predominantly depend on fatty acid (FA) metabolism during helminth infection.
