title: ILC3s and the Willow Tree of Voices.
abstract: Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) and enteric glia, an essential structural component of gut innervation, are well-known regulators of intestinal homeostasis. Ibiza et al. (2016) uncover a new link between commensal bacteria, enteric glial cells, and ILC3s that is required for intestinal homeostasis and defense.
