A mast cell-ILC2-Th9 pathway promotes lung inflammation in cystic fibrosis

In patients with cystic fibrosis, IL-9 signalling is increased. The authors describe an inflammatory loop in which IL-9 produced by Th9 cells drives mast cells to produce IL-2, resulting in ILC2 cell activation, and show inhibition of this loop with blocking antibodies to IL-9 in a mouse model of pu...
