There has been a wealth of studies elucidating the complex interplay between environmental factors, immune cell subsets and cellular sensors driving chronic inflammation. Emerging data suggests that environmental factors, including commensal microbes and dietary components, can influence immune cell development and disease. Several studies are clarifying which particular cell types, including innate lymphoid cells and novel helper T cell subsets, are detecting these factors, as well as the sensors in these cells triggering the production of inflammatory mediators.
This symposium aims to take a broad look at emerging data in this field, surveying how recent developments in our understanding of immune homeostasis can be harnessed to develop new therapeutics to treat disease.

Session 1: Host-microbe interactions
Session 2: Dietary influences on immunity
Session 3: Innate lymphoid cells
Session 4: Helper T cell subsets
Session 5: Innate immune receptors and signaling

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
