A neu(ronal) player joins the T regulatory game
Abstract
The enteric nervous system is surfacing as a key regulator of intestinal immunity and a liaison of host-commensal interactions. In this issue, Yan et al. identify neuronal interleukin-6 as a potent modulator of regulatory T (Treg) cells in the intestine. This neuroimmune dialog is further refined by commensal microbiota, which impact the enteric nervous system and consequently the intestinal Treg cell pool.
