Popis: Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are involved in maintaining gut immune homeostasis. Here the authors identify a circular RNA, circKcnt2, to be induced in ILC3s from inflamed gut, yet circKcnt2 deletion aggravates mouse experimental colitis, thereby implicating circKcnt2 as a potential feedback regulator of ILC3 activation and gut immunity.
