Innate lymphoid cells are an emerging family of effector cells that contribute to lymphoid organogenesis,\nmetabolism, tissue remodelling and protection against infections. They maintain homeostatic immunity at barrier\nsurfaces such as lung, skin and gut (Nature 464:1367ââ?¬â??1371, 2010, Nat Rev Immunol 13: 145ââ?¬â??149, 2013). Several\nhuman and mouse studies suggest a role for innate lymphoid cells in inflammatory skin conditions including atopic\neczema and psoriasis. Here we review the innate lymphoid cell family and discuss their function in the skin and\nduring inflammation.
