Intestinal tuft cells are specialized for recognition of molecules produced by helminths and are therefore key sensor IECs promoting type 2 immune responses induced by Interleukin-17E (IL-17E) / Interleukin-25 (IL-25)
Tuft cells are a type of epithelial cell and are found in epithelial barriers throughout the body: the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, [Nasal cavity](brain:/…
