Costimulation of type-2 innate lymphoid cells by GITR promotes effector function and ameliorates type 2 diabetes

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are an immune population secreting Th2 cytokines playing a role in the regulation of adipose metabolic homeostasis. Here the authors show that engagement of GITR, a member of the TNF superfamily, in activated ILC2s is protective against insulin resistance in both...
