Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the heterogeneous landscape of innate lymphoid cells in zebrafish.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a class of lymphocytes whose activation is independent of antigen receptors. Unlike mammals, where ILCs represent a small lymphoid subset, they are a dominant lymphocyte population in lower vertebrates and are thought to fulfill critical immunological roles in these animals. Yet their e...
